+\subsection{Exact forces for accuracy checks}
+\label{ssec:exact_forces}
+
+To assess the accuracy of the gravity solver, \swift can also compute
+the gravitational forces and potential for a subset of particles using
+a simple direct summation method. This is obviously much slower and
+should only be used for code testing purposes. The forces for a
+selection of particles are computed every time-step if they are active
+and dumped to a file alongside the forces computed by the FMM method.
+
+In the case where periodic boundary conditions are used, we apply the
+\cite{Ewald1921} summation technique to include the contribution to
+the forces of all the infinite periodic replications of the particle
+distribution. We use the approximation to the infinite series of terms
+proposed by \cite{Hernquist1991}\footnote{Note, however, that there is
+a typo in their formula for the force correction terms. The correct
+expression is given by \cite{Klessen1997} \citep[see
+also][]{Hubber2011}.}, which we tabulate in one octant using 64
+equally spaced bins along each spatial direction spanning and the
+range $[0,L]$, where $L$ is the side-length of the box.
