In this paper we characterise the minimisers of a one-parameter family of nonlocal and anisotropic energies $I_\alpha$ defined on probability measures in $\R^n$, with $n\geq 3$. The energy $I_\alpha$ consists of a purely nonlocal term of…

We present an analytic construction of nonlocal energies on the unit interval. The energies are defined using a new graph-directed construction of discrete energies on dyadic approximations of the interval. When the discrete jump kernels…

In this paper we review some recent results on nonlocal interaction problems. The focus is on interaction kernels that are anisotropic variants of the classical Coulomb kernel. In other words, while preserving the same singularity at zero…
