We have performed a detailed analysis of the fast multipole method (FMM) in the adaptive case, in which the depth of the FMM tree is nonuniform. Previous works in this area have focused mostly on special types of adaptive distributions, for example, when points accumulate on a two-dimensional manifold or accumulate around a few points in space. Instead, we considered a more general situation in which fractal sets, e.g., Cantor sets and generalizations, are used to create adaptive sets of points. Such sets are characterized by their dimension, a number between 0 and 3. We introduced a mathematical framework to define a converging sequence of octrees, and based on that, demonstrated how to increase $N \to \infty$. A new complexity analysis for the adaptive FMM is introduced. It is shown that the ${\cal{O}}(N)$ complexity is achievable for any distribution of particles, when a modified adaptive FMM is exploited. We analyzed how the FMM performs for fractal point distributions, and how optimal parameters can ...
