Interaction Theory for Infinite Arrays
From WikiWaves
Introduction
We want to use the Kagemoto and Yue Interaction Theory to derive a system of equations for the infinite array.
System of equations
We start with the final system of equations of the Kagemoto and Yue Interaction Theory, namely
[math]\displaystyle{ m \in \mathbb{N} }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ \mu \in \mathbb{Z} }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ l=1,\dots,N }[/math].
For the infinite array, some simplifications of this system can be made. First of all, the bodies are aligned in an evenly spaced array. Denoting the spacing by [math]\displaystyle{ R }[/math], we have [math]\displaystyle{ R_{jl} = \abs{j-l} R }[/math] and
