The LDOS have been calculated using 10 exact levels in the continued fraction expansion of the Green functions. For clean surfaces the quantities A Vi are the same for all atoms in the same plane they have been determined up to p = 2, 4, 6 for the (110), (100) and (111) surfaces, respectively, and neglected beyond. The cluster C includes the atoms located at the site occupied by the impurity and at al the neighbouring sites up to the fourth nearest neighbour. 

Concerning the numerical accuracy, the closed form solutions of normal surface deformation have been compared to the numerical results calculated through the three methods of DS, DC-FFT, and MLMI. The influence coefficients used in the numerical analyses were obtained from three different schemes Green function, piecewise constant function, and bilinear interpolation. The relative errors, as defined in Eq (39), are given in Table 2 while Fig. 4 provides an illustration of the data.

When the diffusion time is short enough, the translation on the spherical surface is approximately identical with that on the tangent plane to the spherical surface. The latter is the two-dimensional diffusion process treated by the Green function method in Appendix C, and we can use Eq. (C17) again. Since the rotational diffusion coefficient Dr is related to the translational diffusion coefficient D<2) in Eq. (Cl7) by Dr = D(2)/(Le/2)2, we have... 

This problem can be avoided by expressing the MST equations in terms of the square matrix S C = CVS, Hermitian in consequence of the surface-matching theorem. This matrix has full rank because it is contracted over the larger index lg. From the definitions of the C and S matrices, the matrix product S C is a specific integral involving the Helmholtz Green function [281],...

Two theoretical techniques worthy of serious review here, perturbation and Green function methods, can be considered complementary. Perturbation methods can be employed in systems which deviate only slightly from regular shape (mostly from planar geometry, but also from other geometries). However, they can be used to treat both linear and nonlinear PB problems. Green function methods on the other hand are applicable to systems of arbitrary irregularity but are limited to low surface potential surfaces for which the use of the linear PB equation is permitted. Both methods are discussed here with reference to surfactant solutions which are a potentially rich source of nonideal surfaces whether these be solid-liquid interfaces with adsorbed surfactants or whether surfactant self-assembly itself creates the interface.
