The non-local diffusion model provides an appropriate description of the deformation of a continuous body involving discontinuities or other singularities, which cannot be described properly by classical theory of solid mechanics. However, because the non-local nature of the non-local diffusion operator, the numerical methods for non-local diffusion model generate dense or even full stiffness matrices. A direct solver typically requires $O(N^3)$ of operations and $O(N^2)$ of memory where $N$ is the number of unknowns. We develop a fast collocation method for the non-local diffusion model which has the following features: (i) It reduces the computational cost from $O(N^3)$ to $O(N log^2 N)$ and memory requirement from $O(N^2)$ to $O(N)$. (ii) It requires only one-fold integration in the evaluation of the stiffness matrix. Numerical experiments show the utility of the method.
