Lattice sums for double periodic polyanalytic functions

Abstract

In 1892, Lord Rayleigh estimated the effective conductivity of rectangular arrays of disks and proved, employing the Eisenstein summation, that the lattice sum S_2 is equal to pi for the square array. Further, it became clear that such equality can be treated as a necessary condition of the macroscopic isotropy of composites governed by the Laplace equation. This yielded the description of two-dimensional conducting composites by the classic elliptic functions, including the conditionally convergent Eisenstein series. In 1935, Natanzon used a polyharmonic function to solve the plane elasticity problem. This paper is devoted to the extension of the classic lattice sums to the lattice sums for double periodic (pseudoperiodic) polyanalytic functions. The exact relations and computationally effective formulae between the polyanalytic and classic lattice sums are established. Polynomial representations of the lattice sums are obtained. They are a source of new exact formulae for the lattice sums.
