Interaction theory is based on calculating a solution for a number of individual scatterers
without simply discretising the total problem. The theory is generally applied in
three dimensions.
Essentially the [[Cylindrical Eigenfunction Expansion]]
surrounding each body is used coupled with some way of mapping these. Various approximations
were developed until the the [[Kagemoto and Yue Interaction Theory]] which contained
a solution without any approximation. This solution method is valid, provided only that
an escribed circle can be drawn around each body. 
We present an illustrative example of an interaction theory for the case of <math>n</math>
[[Linton and Evans 1990]] presented an [[Interaction Theory for Cylinders]]
which was [[Kagemoto and Yue Interaction Theory]] simplified by assuming that each
body is a [[Bottom Mounted Cylinder]].
