Wolf method
In the Wolf method it is suggested that the reciprocal space term of the Ewald Sum may be essentially ignored, provided one compensates the real space contribution by means of a truncation scheme.
Inhomogeneous systems
It appears to be the case (Ref. 3) that the Wolf method has problems for inhomogeneous systems.
