<p>Are there some approximate or randomised algorithms to numerically solve Poisson's Equation in Partial Differential Equations.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisson%27s_equation). The best algorithms I know of are Multigrid methods(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multigrid_methods), but they are deterministic and are O(n). Are there Randomised or approximate algos to solve this problem.</p>

<p>How about the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_multipole_method" rel="nofollow">fast multipole method</a>? (Or does that count as multigrid?)</p>

<p>You can modify the method <a href="http://www.everything2.com/title/Brownian+motion+solves+a+PDE?lastnode_id=124" rel="nofollow">described here</a> for the Laplace equation to work for Poisson.</p>
