In computer experiments on the dynamics of stellar systems special methods are often required for the computation of the forces to keep the problem manageable. For collisionless systems a method based on solving Poisson's equation with Fourier-series expansions has been used with success (Miller et al., 1970; Hohl, 1973). The systems in these studies consist of a large number of particles moving on a rectangular grid.
