20. S (r) = 1 Ω ∫Ω S (r′ +r, r′) d r′ = 1 Ω ∫Ω S (r″, r″ -r) d r″ = 1 Ω ∫Ω S (r″ -r, r″) d r″ =S (-r). Note that the periodicity of S (r′ +r, r′) as a function of r′ allows the volume of integration to be translated arbitrarily.
21. The Poisson summation formula (in three dimensions) states that [1/ (2π) 3] ∫k<∞ f (k) dk = (1/Ω) ΣG f (G) - ΣR≠0 f (R) for any smooth and rapidly decaying function f (r).
