Lekner summation of Coulomb interactions in partially periodic systems

We present Lekner summations of long-range interactions in three-dimensional media, which are periodic in one or two dimensions. While the basic summation techniques are well known from Lekner's original work, we emhasize a simple method for correctly evaluating the selfenergies of particles in a partially periodic lattice.
