A Fourier representation method is presented for calculating the electrostatic energies of classical charge arrays with periodicity in one dimension. Extension of the method to quantum‐mechanical systems is then discussed. The classical presentation illustrates mathematical features which must be understood to avoid apparent divergences in the quantum‐mechanical formulation.
