  I have read Feng Zhao's thesis about an O(N) algorithm for 3D N-body
  simulations.  Has anyone implemented this in something other than
  Lisp?  Is there follow-up research papers to this algorithm?  Can
  someone recommends any good articles about N-body simulation.  My
  background is Computer Science, not engineering...  Please Email
  your responses to cristy@dupont.com.  Thanks in advance.

I'm wondering if anyone has figured out how to cast Greengard/Rohklin
O(n) free-space algorithm into the Poisson-Boltzmann system which is
highly non-linear, but somewhat more realistic approximation to a protein
in solution?
