Abstract
The conventional multipole expansion gives a description of electrostatic interactions which is only useful at long distances. Distributed multipole analysis gives a description which is accurate at all accessible distances, and also gives a much more detailed and instructive picture of the charge distribution. We report our recent investigations into the method and comment on its limitations.Keywords
