Convergence of the Laplace and the alternative multipole expansion approximation series for the Coulomb potential

Abstract Multipole expansion is a powerful technique used in many-body physics to solve dynamical problems involving correlated interactions between constituent particles. The Laplace multipole expansion series of the Coulomb potential is well established in literature. We compare its convergence wi...
