\begin_layout Standard
Although large finite systems are where MSTMM excels the most, there are
 several reasons that makes its extension to infinite lattices (where periodic
 boundary conditions might be applied) desirable as well.
 Other methods might be already fast enough, but MSTMM will be faster in
 most cases in which there is enough spacing between the neighboring particles.
 MSTMM works well with any space group symmetry the system might have (as
 opposed to, for example, FDTD with a cubic mesh applied to a honeycomb
 lattice), which makes e.g.
 application of group theory in mode analysis quite easy.

 And finally, having a method that handles well both infinite and large
 finite systems gives a possibility to study finite-size effects in periodic
 scatterer arrays.

\begin_layout Standard
Let us have a linear system of compact EM scatterers on a homogeneous background
 as in Section 
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand eqref

\end_inset

, but this time, the system shall be periodic: let there be a 
\begin_inset Formula $d$
\end_inset

-dimensional (
\begin_inset Formula $d$
\end_inset

 can be 1, 2 or 3) Bravais lattice embedded into the three-dimensional real
 space, with lattice vectors 
\begin_inset Formula $\left\{ \dlv_{i}\right\} _{i=1}^{d}$
\end_inset

, and let the lattice points be labeled with an 
\begin_inset Formula $d$
\end_inset

-dimensional integer multi-index 
\begin_inset Formula $\vect n\in\ints^{d}$
\end_inset

, so the lattice points have cartesian coordinates 
\begin_inset Formula $\vect R_{\vect n}=\sum_{i=1}^{d}n_{i}\vect a_{i}$
\end_inset

.
 There can be several scatterers per unit cell with indices 
\begin_inset Formula $\alpha$
\end_inset

 from a set 
\begin_inset Formula $\mathcal{P}_{1}$
\end_inset

 and (relative) positions 
\begin_inset Formula $\vect r_{\alpha}$
\end_inset

 inside the unit cell; any particle of the periodic system can thus be labeled
 by a multi-index from 
\begin_inset Formula $\mathcal{P}=\ints^{d}\times\mathcal{P}_{1}$
\end_inset

.
 The scatterers are located at positions 
\begin_inset Formula $\vect r_{\vect n,\alpha}=\vect R_{\vect n}+\vect r_{\alpha}$
\end_inset

 and their 
\begin_inset Formula $T$
\end_inset

-matrices are periodic, 
\begin_inset Formula $T_{\vect n,\alpha}=T_{\alpha}$
\end_inset

.
 In such system, the multiple-scattering problem 
\begin_inset CommandInset ref

 can be rewritten as

\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset Formula 
\begin{equation}
\outcoeffp{\vect n,\alpha}-T_{\alpha}\sum_{\left(\vect m,\beta\right)\in\mathcal{P}\backslash\left\{ \left(\vect n,\alpha\right)\right\} }\tropsp{\vect n,\alpha}{\vect m,\beta}\outcoeffp{\vect m,\beta}=T_{\alpha}\rcoeffincp{\vect n,\alpha}.\quad\left(\vect n,\alpha\right)\in\mathcal{P}\label{eq:Multiple-scattering problem periodic}
\end{equation}

\end_inset


\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Due to periodicity, we can also write 
\begin_inset Formula $\tropsp{\vect n,\alpha}{\vect m,\beta}=\tropsp{\alpha}{\beta}\left(\vect R_{\vect m}-\vect R_{\vect n}\right)=\tropsp{\alpha}{\beta}\left(\vect R_{\vect m-\vect n}\right)=\tropsp{\vect 0,\alpha}{\vect m-\vect n,\beta}$
\end_inset

.
 Assuming quasi-periodic right-hand side with quasi-momentum 
\begin_inset Formula $\vect k$
\end_inset

, 
\begin_inset Formula $\rcoeffincp{\vect n,\alpha}=\rcoeffincp{\vect 0,\alpha}\left(\vect k\right)e^{i\vect k\cdot\vect R_{\vect n}}$

\end_inset


\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand eqref

 can be rewritten as follows
\begin_inset Formula 
\begin{align}
\outcoeffp{\vect 0,\alpha}\left(\vect k\right)e^{i\vect k\cdot\vect R_{\vect n}}-T_{\alpha}\sum_{\left(\vect m,\beta\right)\in\mathcal{P}\backslash\left\{ \left(\vect n,\alpha\right)\right\} }\tropsp{\vect n,\alpha}{\vect m,\beta}\outcoeffp{\vect 0,\beta}\left(\vect k\right)e^{i\vect k\cdot\vect R_{\vect m}} & =T_{\alpha}\rcoeffincp{\vect 0,\alpha}\left(\vect k\right)e^{i\vect k\cdot\vect R_{\vect n}},\nonumber \\
\outcoeffp{\vect 0,\alpha}\left(\vect k\right)-T_{\alpha}\sum_{\left(\vect m,\beta\right)\in\mathcal{P}\backslash\left\{ \left(\vect n,\alpha\right)\right\} }\tropsp{\vect 0,\alpha}{\vect m-\vect n,\beta}\outcoeffp{\vect 0,\beta}\left(\vect k\right)e^{i\vect k\cdot\vect R_{\vect m-\vect n}} & =T_{\alpha}\rcoeffincp{\vect 0,\alpha}\left(\vect k\right),\nonumber \\
\outcoeffp{\vect 0,\alpha}\left(\vect k\right)-T_{\alpha}\sum_{\left(\vect m,\beta\right)\in\mathcal{P}\backslash\left\{ \left(\vect 0,\alpha\right)\right\} }\tropsp{\vect 0,\alpha}{\vect m,\beta}\outcoeffp{\vect 0,\beta}\left(\vect k\right)e^{i\vect k\cdot\vect R_{\vect m}} & =T_{\alpha}\rcoeffincp{\vect 0,\alpha}\left(\vect k\right),\nonumber \\

\end{align}

\end_inset

so we reduced the initial scattering problem to one involving only the field
 expansion coefficients from a single unit cell, but we need to compute
 the

\begin_inset CommandInset ref

 in the multipole degree truncated form.
 The lattice mode problem 
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand eqref
reference "eq:lattice mode equation"
plural "false"
caps "false"
noprefix "false"

\end_inset

 is (after multipole degree truncation) solved by finding 
\begin_inset Formula $\omega,\vect k$
\end_inset

 for which the matrix 
\begin_inset Formula $M\left(\omega,\vect k\right)$
\end_inset

 has a zero singular value.
 A naïve approach to do that is to sample a volume with a grid in the 
\begin_inset Formula $\left(\omega,\vect k\right)$
\end_inset

 space, performing a singular value decomposition of 
\begin_inset Formula $M\left(\omega,\vect k\right)$
\end_inset

 at each point and finding where the lowest singular value of 
\begin_inset Formula $M\left(\omega,\vect k\right)$
\end_inset

 is close enough to zero.
 However, this approach is quite expensive, since 
\begin_inset Formula $W\left(\omega,\vect k\right)$
\end_inset

 has to be evaluated for each 
\begin_inset Formula $\omega,\vect k$
\end_inset

 pair separately (unlike the original finite case

plural "false"
caps "false"
noprefix "false"

\end_inset

 translation operator 
\begin_inset Formula $\trops$
\end_inset

, which, for a given geometry, depends only on frequency).
 Therefore, a much more efficient but not completely robust approach to
 determine the photonic bands is to sample the 
\begin_inset Formula $\vect k$
\end_inset

-space (a whole Brillouin zone or its part) and for each fixed 
\begin_inset Formula $\vect k$
\end_inset

 to find a corresponding frequency 
\begin_inset Formula $\omega$
\end_inset

 with zero singular value of 
\begin_inset Formula $M\left(\omega,\vect k\right)$
\end_inset

 using a minimisation algorithm (two- or one-dimensional, depending on whether
 one needs the exact complex-valued 
\begin_inset Formula $\omega$
\end_inset

 or whether the its real-valued approximation is satisfactory).
 Typically, a good initial guess for 
\begin_inset Formula $\omega\left(\vect k\right)$
\end_inset

 is obtained from the empty lattice approximation, 
\begin_inset Formula $\left|\vect k\right|=\sqrt{\epsilon\mu}\omega/c_{0}$
\end_inset

 (modulo reciprocal lattice points
\begin_inset Note Note

\begin_layout Plain Layout
TODO write this in a clean way
\end_layout

\end_inset

).
 A somehow challenging step is to distinguish the different bands that can
 all be very close to the empty lattice approximation, especially if the
 particles in the system are small.
 In high-symmetry points of the Brilloin zone, this can be solved by factorising
 
\begin_inset Formula $M\left(\omega,\vect k\right)$
\end_inset

 into irreducible representations 
\begin_inset Formula $\Gamma_{i}$
\end_inset

 and performing the minimisation in each irrep separately, cf.
 Section 
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref
reference "sec:Symmetries"
plural "false"
caps "false"
noprefix "false"

\end_inset

, and using the different 
\begin_inset Formula $\omega_{\Gamma_{i}}\left(\vect k\right)$
\end_inset

 to obtain the initial guesses for the nearby points 
\begin_inset Formula $\vect k+\delta\vect k$
\end_inset

.

\begin_layout Standard
An alternative, faster and more robust approach to generic minimisation
 algorithms are eigensolvers for nonlinear eigenvalue problems based on
 contour integration 
\begin_inset CommandInset citation

\end_inset

 which are able to find the roots of 
\begin_inset Formula $M\left(\omega,\vect k\right)=0$
\end_inset

 inside an area enclosed by a given complex frequency plane contour, assuming
 that 
\begin_inset Formula $M\left(\omega,\vect k\right)$
\end_inset

 is an analytical function of 
\begin_inset Formula $\omega$
\end_inset

 inside the contour.
 A necessary prerequisite for this is that all the ingredients of 
\begin_inset Formula $M\left(\omega,\vect k\right)$
\end_inset

 are analytical as well.
 It practice, this usually means that interpolation cannot be used in a
 straightforward way for material properties or 
\begin_inset Formula $T$
\end_inset

-matrices.
 For material response, constant permittivity or Drude-Lorentz models suit
 this purpose well.
 The need to evaluate the 
\begin_inset Formula $T$
\end_inset

-matrices precisely (without the speedup provided by interpolation) at many
 points might cause a performance bottleneck for scatterers with more complicate
d shapes.
 And finally, the integration contour has to evade any branch cuts appearing
 in the lattice-summed translation operator 
\begin_inset Formula $W\left(\omega,\vect k\right)$

 The problem of poorly converging lattice sums can be solved by decomposing
 the lattice-summed function into two parts: a short-range part that decays
 fast and can be summed directly, and a long-range part which decays poorly
 but is fairly smooth everywhere, so that its Fourier transform decays fast
 enough, and to deal with the long range part by Poisson summation over
 the reciprocal lattice; these two parts put together shall give an analytical
 continuation of the original sum for 
\begin_inset Formula $\Im\kappa\le0$
\end_inset

.
 This idea dates back to Ewald 
\begin_inset CommandInset citation

 who solved the problem for electrostatic potentials (Green's functions
 for Laplace's equation).
 For linear electrodynamic problems, ruled by Helmholtz equation, the same
 basic idea can be used as well, resulting in exponentially convergent summation
 formulae, but the technical details are considerably more complicated than
 in electrostatics.
 For the scalar Helmholtz equation in three dimensions, the formulae were
 developed by Ham & Segall

 Therefore for higher frequencies, the parameter

\begin_inset Formula $\eta\ge\sqrt{\left|\kappa\right|^{2}-\left|\vect k\right|^{2}}/2\log M$

 eliminates the exponential growth in the incomplete

 This adjustment means that, in the worst-case scenario, with growing wavenumber
 one has to include an increasing number of terms in the long-range sum
 in order to achieve a given accuracy, the number of terms being proportional
 to 
\begin_inset Formula $\left|\kappa\right|^{d}$

 Fortunately, these can be obtained easily from the expressions for the
