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 derive universal lower and upper bounds for max-min and min-max problems (also known as polarization) for the potential of spherical $(k,k)$-designs and provide certain examples, including unit-norm tight frames, that attain these…

We address the problem of finding the optimal common resource for an arbitrary family of target states in quantum resource theories based on majorization, that is, theories whose conversion law between resources is determined by a…

We study the problem of maximizing the minimal value over the sphere $S^{d-1}\subset \mathbb R^d$ of the potential generated by a configuration of $d+1$ points on $S^{d-1}$ (the maximal discrete polarization problem). The points interact…

Our concern is the computation of optimal shapes in problems involving $\(-\Delta)^{1/2}$. We focus on the energy $J(\Omega)$ associated to the solution $u\_\Omega$ of the basic Dirichlet problem $(-\Delta)^{1/2} u\_\Omega = 1$ in $\Omega$,…

We study the problem of minimizing the energy function $M^p(m,n) := \min \sum_{1\le i<j\le m} |\langle v_i, v_j\rangle|^p$, where $v_i$ are unit vectors in $F^n$, $F=\mathbb R$ or $\mathbb C$, $m,n,p>0$ are integers and $p$ is even. This…

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…
