34 \section{The Self-Interaction}
35 The Wolf summation~\cite{Wolf99} and the later damped shifted force
36 (DSF) extension~\cite{Fennell06} included self-interactions that are
37 handled separately from the pairwise interactions between sites. The
38 self-term is normally calculated via a single loop over all sites in
39 the system, and is relatively cheap to evaluate. The self-interaction
40 has contributions from two sources:
41 \begin{itemize}
42 \item The neutralization procedure within the cutoff radius requires a
43 contribution from a charge opposite in sign, but equal in magnitude,
44 to the central charge, which has been spread out over the surface of
45 the cutoff sphere. For a system of undamped charges, the total
46 self-term is
47 \begin{equation}
48 V_\textrm{self} = - \frac{1}{r_c} \sum_{{\bf a}=1}^N C_{\bf a}^{2}
49 \label{eq:selfTerm}
50 \end{equation}
51 Note that in this potential and in all electrostatic quantities that
52 follow, the standard $4 \pi \epsilon_{0}$ has been omitted for
53 clarity.
54 \item Charge damping with the complementary error function is a
55 partial analogy to the Ewald procedure which splits the interaction
56 into real and reciprocal space sums. The real space sum is retained
57 in the Wolf and DSF methods. The reciprocal space sum is first
58 minimized by folding the largest contribution (the self-interaction)
59 into the self-interaction from charge neutralization of the damped
60 potential. The remainder of the reciprocal space portion is then
61 discarded (as this contributes the largest computational cost and
62 complexity to the Ewald sum). For a system containing only damped
63 charges, the complete self-interaction can be written as
64 \begin{equation}
65 V_\textrm{self} = - \left(\frac{\textrm{erfc}(\alpha r_c)}{r_c} +
66 \frac{2 \alpha}{\sqrt{\pi}} \right) \sum_{{\bf a}=1}^N
67 C_{\bf a}^{2}.
68 \label{eq:dampSelfTerm}
69 \end{equation}
70 \end{itemize}
71
72 The extension of DSF electrostatics to point multipoles requires
73 treatment of {\it both} the self-neutralization and reciprocal
74 contributions to the self-interaction for higher order multipoles. In
75 this section we give formulae for these interactions up to quadrupolar
76 order.
77
78 The self-neutralization term is computed by taking the {\it
79 non-shifted} kernel for each interaction, placing a multipole of
80 equal magnitude (but opposite in polarization) on the surface of the
81 cutoff sphere, and averaging over the surface of the cutoff sphere.
82 The reciprocal-space term is identical to the self-term obtained by
83 Smith and Aguado and Madden for the application of the Ewald sum to
84 multipoles.\cite{Smith82,Smith98,Aguado03} For a given site which
85 posesses a charge, dipole, and multipole, both types of contribution
86 are given in table \ref{tab:tableSelf}.

90 site ({\bf a}) that has a charge $(C_{\bf a})$, dipole

97 g(r_c)}{r_c}
98 \right)$ & $-\frac{4 \alpha^3}{3 \sqrt{\pi}}$\\
99 Quadrupole & $2 \text{Tr}(\mathbf{Q}_{\bf a}^2) + \text{Tr}(\mathbf{Q}_{\bf a})^2$ &
100 $- \frac{1}{15} \left( t(r_c)+ \frac{4 s(r_c)}{r_c} \right)$ & $-\frac{8
101 \alpha^5}{5 \sqrt{\pi}}$ \\
102 Charge-Quadrupole & $-2 C_{\bf a} \text{Tr}(\mathbf{Q}_{\bf a})$ & $\frac{1}{3} \left(
103 h(r_c) + \frac{2 g(r_c)}{r_c} \right)$& $-\frac{4
104 \alpha^3}{3 \sqrt{\pi}}$ \\

109 For sites which simultaneously contain charges and quadrupoles, the
110 self-interaction includes a cross-interaction between these two
111 multipole orders. Symmetry prevents the charge-dipole and
112 dipole-quadrupole interactions from contributing to the
113 self-interaction. The functions that go into the self-neutralization
114 terms, $f(r), g(r), h(r), s(r), \mathrm{~and~} t(r)$ are successive
115 derivatives of the electrostatic kernel (either the undamped $1/r$ or
116 the damped $B_0(r)=\mathrm{erfc}(\alpha r)/r$ function) that are
117 evaluated at the cutoff distance. For undamped interactions, $f(r_c)
118 = 1/r_c$, $g(r_c) = -1/r_c^{2}$, and so on. For damped interactions,
119 $f(r_c) = B_0(r_c)$, $g(r_c) = B_0'(r_c)$, and so on. Appendix XX
120 contains recursion relations that allow rapid evaluation of these
121 derivatives.
122
123 The self interaction also gives rise to a contribution to the torque
124 on the site
