Existence and nonexistence of minimizer for Thomas-Fermi-Dirac-Von Weizs\"{a}cker model on lattice graph

The focus of our paper is to investigate the possibility of a minimizer for the Thomas-Fermi-Dirac-von Weizs\"{a}cker model on the lattice graph $\mathbb{Z}^{3}$. The model is described by the following functional: \begin{equation*} E(\varphi)=\sum_{y\in\mathbb{Z}^{3}}\left(|\nabla\varphi(y)|^2+ (\varphi(y))^{\frac{10}{3}}-(\varphi(y))^{\frac{8}{3}}\right)+ \sum_{x,y\in\mathbb{Z}^{3}\atop ~\ y\neq x\hfill}\frac{{\varphi}^2(x){\varphi}^2(y)}{|x-y|}, \end{equation*} with the additional constraint that $\sum\limits_{y\in\mathbb{Z}^{3}} {\varphi}^2(y)=m$ is sufficiently small. We also prove the nonexistence of a minimizer provided the mass $m$ is adequately large. Furthermore, we extend our analysis to a subset $\Omega \subset \mathbb{Z}^{3}$ and prove the nonexistence of a minimizer for the following functional: \begin{equation*} E(\Omega)=|\partial\Omega|+\sum_{x,y\in\Omega\atop ~y\neq x\hfill}\frac{1}{|x-y|}, \end{equation*} under the constraint that $|\Omega|=V$ is sufficiently large.
