Ewald summation and physically equivalent methods such as particle-mesh Ewald, kubic-harmonic expansions, or Lekner sums are commonly used to calculate long-range electrostatic interactions in computer simulations of polar and charged…
When evaluating the electrostatic potential, periodic boundary conditions in one, two or three of the spatial dimensions are often needed for different applications. The triply periodic Ewald summation formula is classical, and Ewald…
The evaluation of Coulomb forces is a difficult task. The summations that are involved converge only conditionally and care has to be taken in selecting the appropriate procedure to define the limits. The Ewald method is a standard method…
Evaluating the total energy of an extended distribution of point charges, which interact through the Coulomb potential, is central to the study of condensed matter. With near ubiquity, the summation required is carried out using Ewald's…
The evaluation of the electrostatic potential is fundamental to the study of condensed phase systems. We discuss the calculation of the relevant lattice summations by Ewald-type techniques. A model charge density is introduced, that cancels…
The Ewald summation technique is generalised to power-law 1/|r|^k potentials in three-, two- and one-dimensional geometries with explicit formulae for all the components of the sums. The cases of short-range, long-range and "marginal"…
Ewald summation is widely used to calculate electrostatic interactions in computer simulations of condensed-matter systems. We present an analysis of the errors arising from truncating the infinite real- and Fourier-space lattice sums in…
Ewald summation is an important technique used to deal with long-range Coulomb interaction. While it is widely used in simulations of molecules and solid state materials, many important results are dispersed in literature and their…
We present a new method, in the following called MMM2D, to accurately calculate the electrostatic energy and forces on charges being distributed in a two dimensional periodic array of finite thickness. It is not based on an Ewald summation…
Standard Ewald sums, which calculate e.g. the electrostatic energy or the force in periodically closed systems of charged particles, can be efficiently speeded up by the use of the Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT). In this article we…
In this work, we provide the mathematical elements we think essential for a proper understanding of the calculus of the electrostatic energy of point-multipoles of arbitrary order under periodic boundary conditions. The emphasis is put on…
A computer adapted fluctuation formula for the calculation of the wavevector- and frequency-dependent dielectric permittivity for interaction site models of polar fluids within the Ewald summation technique is proposed and applied to…
In computational molecular science, calculation of electrostatic interactions involving charged atoms - the strongest interactions in condensed phases, is a major bottleneck. We propose a quantum-classical algorithm for fast, yet, accurate…
An Ewald decomposition of the two-dimensional Yukawa potential and its derivative is presented for both the periodic and the free-space case. These modified Bessel functions of the second kind of zeroth and first degrees are used e.g. when…
Ewald summation is an efficient method for computing the periodic sums that appear when considering the Green's functions of Stokes flow together with periodic boundary conditions. We show how Ewald summation, and accompanying truncation…
We develop an efficient Ewald method of molecular dynamics simulation for calculating the electrostatic interactions among charged and polar particles between parallel metallic plates, where we may apply an electric field with an arbitrary…

We describe a real-space approach to the calculation of the properties of an insulating crystal in an applied electric field, based on the iterative determination of the Wannier functions (WF's) of the occupied bands. It has been recently…
A proper treatment of electrostatic interactions is crucial for the accurate calculation of forces in computer simulations. Electrostatic interactions are typically modeled using Ewald based methods, which have become one of the…
We derive analytic solutions for the potential and field in a one-dimensional system of masses or charges with periodic boundary conditions, in other words Ewald sums for one dimension. We also provide a set of tools for exploring the…
