Abstract
Using the method of Chadi and Cohen, we present, for each of the two-dimensional lattice types, the mean-value point, the set of generating wave vectors, and the sets of special points in the two-dimensional Brillouin zone which are the most efficient in finding accurate averages of a periodic function over the Brillouin zone.
