The use of Green's functions has been considered a powerful technique in the solution of fracture mechanics problems by the boundary element method (BEM). Closed-form expressions for Green's function components, however, have only been available for few simple 2-D crack geometry applications and req

Abstract
We apply the Ewald acceleration technique to the efficient evaluation of periodic Green's functions (GFs) for 3‐D skewed lattices like those arising in electromagnetic/photonic band‐gap (EBG/PBG) structures and metamaterials (MTMs). We develop the expression for the optimal value of an associated splitting parameter, derive the gradient of the scalar potential GFs and address the extraction of singularity for both vector/scalar potential GF and their curl/gradient. Several numerical implementation issues are also discussed leading to further enhancement in computational speed, accuracy, and numerical stability. Finally, the accuracy of the developed GFs is verified against well established algorithms. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract In this article, the capacitance matrices of three‐dimensional conducting structures embedded in a stratified dielectric medium are computed by using the fast muitipole method in conjunction with a closed‐form approximation of the appropriate Green's function. Image charges that result
