Isotropic periodic sum (IPS) is a method to calculate long-range interactions based on the homogeneity of simulation systems. By using the isotropic periodic images of a local region to represent remote structures, long-range interactions become a function of the local conformation. This function is called the IPS potential, which folds long-ranged interactions into a short-ranged potential and can be calculated as efficiently as a cutoff method. Analytic solutions of IPS potentials have been solved for many interaction types. To further simplify the application of the IPS method, this work presents the homogeneity condition, which requires the sum of interaction energies for any particle to be independent of cutoff distances for a truly homogeneous system. Using the homogeneity condition, one can avoid the complicated mathematic work to solve analytic solutions and can instead use simple functions as IPS potentials. Example simulations are performed for model systems of a series of interaction types. Energies, volumes, and their fluctuations from these simulations demonstrate that simple IPS potentials obtained through the homogeneity condition can satisfactorily describe long-range interactions. The homogeneity condition makes the IPS method a convenient way to handle long-range interactions of any type.
