Methods for calculating lower bounds to the exact energy using the variance of the upper bound energy are discussed and explored. All the matrix elements of the Hamiltonian squared are collected and considered, and those for which no known…

We introduce new methods for the numerical solution of general Hamiltonian boundary value problems. The main feature of the new formulae is to produce numerical solutions along which the energy is precisely conserved, as is the case with…

We study a variational model for a diblock-copolymer/homopolymer blend. The energy functional is a sharp-interface limit of a generalisation of the Ohta-Kawasaki energy. In one dimension, on the real line and on the torus, we prove…

We establish upper and lower universal bounds for potentials of weighted designs on the sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}$ that depend only on quadrature nodes and weights derived from the design structure. Our bounds hold for a large class of…

We consider a minimization problem that combines the Dirichlet energy with the nonlocal perimeter of a level set, namely $$ \int_\Om |\nabla u(x)|^2\,dx+\Per\Big(\{u > 0\},\Om \Big),$$ with $\sigma\in(0,1)$. We obtain regularity results for…

For a wide class of Hamiltonians, a novel method to obtain lower and upper bounds for the lowest energy is presented. Unlike perturbative or variational techniques, this method does not involve the computation of any integral (a…

We consider the minimization of an energy functional given by the sum of a crystalline perimeter and a nonlocal interaction of Riesz type, under volume constraint. We show that, in the small mass regime, if the Wulff shape of the…

C.J. Smyth and later Flammang studied the spectrum of the Weil height in the field of all totally real numbers, establishing both lower and upper bounds for the limit infimum of the height of all totally real integers and determining…

We consider a class of {energy integrals}, associated to nonlinear and non-uniformly elliptic equations, with integrands $f(x,u,\xi)$ satisfying anisotropic $p_i,q$-growth conditions of the form $$ \sum_{i=1}^n \lambda_i (x)|\xi_i|^{p_i}\le…

We study vector minimizers u of the Allen-Cahn functional with potentials possessing N global minima defined on bounded domains, with certain geometrical features and Dirichlet conditions on the boundary. We derive a sharp lower bound for…

In this paper we look at a class of random optimization problems that arise in the forms typically known as Hopfield models. We view two scenarios which we term as the positive Hopfield form and the negative Hopfield form. For both of these…

We introduce a linear programming framework for obtaining upper bounds for the potential energy of spherical codes of fixed cardinality and minimum distance. Using Hermite interpolation we construct polynomials to derive corresponding…

We obtain a non--trivial upper bound for the multiplicative energy of any sufficiently large subset of a subvariety of a finite algebraic group. We also find some applications of our results to growth of conjugates classes, estimates of…

We study the problem of constructing $k$-spectral minimal partitions of domains in $d$ dimensions, where the energy functional to be minimized is a $p$-norm ($1 \le p \le \infty$) of the infimum of the spectrum of a suitable Schr\"odinger…

In the present paper we study the minimization of energy integrals on the sphere with a focus on an interesting clustering phenomenon: for certain types of potentials, optimal measures are discrete or are supported on small sets. In…

The paper deals with minimum energy problems in the presence of external fields with respect to the Riesz kernels $|x-y|^{\alpha-n}$, $0<\alpha<n$, on $\mathbb R^n$, $n\geqslant2$. For quite a general (not necessarily lower semicontinuous)…

We generalise and improve some recent bounds for additive energies of modular roots. Our arguments use a variety of techniques, including those from additive combinatorics, algebraic number theory and the geometry of numbers. We give…

If $\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_r$ are algebraic numbers such that $$N=\sum_{i=1}^r\alpha_i \ne \sum_{i=1}^r\alpha_i^{-1}$$ for some integer $N$, then a theorem of Beukers and Zagier gives the best possible lower bound on $$\sum_{i=1}^r\log…

Let $F$ be a univariate polynomial or rational fraction of degree $d$ defined over a number field. We give bounds from above on the absolute logarithmic Weil height of $F$ in terms of the heights of its values at small integers: we review…
