We perform a complete study
of the truncation error of the Gegenbauer series.
This series yields an expansion of the Green kernel of the
Helmholtz equation,
,
which is the core of the Fast Multipole Method for the integral equations.
We consider the truncated series where the summation is
performed over the indices
.
We prove that if
is large enough,
the truncated series gives rise to an error lower than ϵ
as soon as L satisfies
where W is the Lambert function,
depends only on
and
are pure positive constants.
Numerical experiments show that this
asymptotic is optimal. Those results are
useful to provide sharp estimates of the
error in the fast multipole method for
scattering computation.
