25. This simple calculation of the wall contribution to the dielectric constant implies that the walls are sufficiently regular. If they were fractal, the result (decreasing of the wall contribution when the domain size increases) would be still valid as long as the dimensionality of the surface is 2 + η with η < 1 (the regular case corresponds to η = 0)
