Abstract

We study the pair interaction on flat tori of functions whose Fourier coefficients are positive and decay sufficiently rapidly. In dimension one we find that the minimizer, up to translation, is the equidistant point set. In dimension two, minimizing with respect to triplets we find that the minimizer is the triangular lattice.
