Exact results for some Madelung type constants in the finite-size scaling theory

A general formula is obtained from which the madelung type constant: $$ C(d|\nu)=\int_0^\infty dx x^{d/2-\nu-1}[(\sum_{l=-\infty}^\infty e^{-xl^2})^d-1-(\frac\pi x)^{d/2}] $$ extensively used in the finite-size scaling theory is computed analytically for some particular cases of the parameters $d$ and $\nu$. By adjusting these parameters one can obtain different physical situations corresponding to different geometries and magnitudes of the interparticle interaction.
