The present paper is an attempt to demonstrate how the energy minimization principle may be considered as a governing rule for the physical equilibrium that determines the flow fields in tubes and networks. We previously investigated this…

This note contains an elementary discussion of the Arakelov intersection theory of elliptic curves. The main new results are a projection formula for elliptic arithmetic surfaces and a formula for the "energy" of an isogeny between Riemann…

Arakelov-Green functions defined on metrized graphs have important role in relating arithmetical problems on algebraic curves into graph theoretical problems. In this paper, we clarify the combinatorial interpretation of certain…

We consider the scaling-invariant nonlocal Willmore energy, defined via the nonlocal mean curvature by Caffarelli, Roquejoffre and Savin. Our main result is the existence of minimizers in the class of convex $C^1$-curves.

We study configurations of points on the unit sphere that minimize potential energy for a broad class of potential functions (viewed as functions of the squared Euclidean distance between points). Call a configuration sharp if there are m…
