Abstract

In the present paper, we consider the majorization theorem (also known as Karamata's inequality) and the respective minima of the majorization (the so-called M-sets) for f-energy potentials of mm-point configurations on the unit sphere. In particular, we show the optimality of regular simplexes, describe some M-sets of small cardinality, define and discuss spherical f-designs.
