Abstract
A solution of the problem of conditional convergence is obtained in the calculation of Coulomb and multipole energy contributions within direct summation over the crystal lattice. The values correcting the results of the direct summation are shown to have the universal character described by the Lorentz tensor whose components are determined only by crystal symmetry and the direct summation method.
