Abstract
We introduce two convergent series expansions (direct and recursive) in terms of Bessel functions and the number of representations of an integer as a sum of squares for N-dimensional Madelung constants, MN(s), where s is the exponent of the Madelung series (usually chosen as s=1/2). The convergence of the Bessel function expansion is discussed in detail. Values for MN(s) for s=1/2,3/2,3 and 6 for dimension up to N=20 are presented. This work extends Zucker's original analysis on N-dimensional Madelung constants for even dimensions up to N=8.
