- Description
- We make a general study of the convergence properties of lattice sums, involving potentials, of the form occurring in mathematical chemistry and physics. Many specific examples are studied in detail. The prototype is Madelung's constant for NaCl: [formula could not be replicated]= -1.74756459···, presuming that one appropriately interprets the summation proccess.
