Abstract
We analyze various generalized two-dimensional lattice sums, one of which arose from the solution to a certain Poisson equation. We evaluate certain lattice sums in closed form using results from Ramanujan's theory of theta functions, continued fractions and class invariants. Many explicit examples are given.
