Given $d, N\geq 2$ and $p\in (0, \infty]$ we consider a family of functionals, the $p$-frame potentials FP$_{p, N, d}$, defined on the set of all collections of $N$ unit-norm vectors in $\mathbb R^d$. For the special case $p=2$ and…

For a collection of $N$ unit vectors $\mathbf{X}=\{x_i\}_{i=1}^N$, define the $p$-frame energy of $\mathbf{X}$ as the quantity $\sum_{i\neq j} |\langle x_i,x_j \rangle|^p$. In this paper, we connect the problem of minimizing this value to…

Given $N$ points $X=\{x_k\}_{k=1}^N$ on the unit circle in $\mathbb{R}^2$ and a number $0\leq p \leq \infty$ we investigate the minimizers of the functional $\sum_{k, \ell =1}^N |\langle x_k, x_\ell\rangle|^p$. While it is known that each…

An extension is given of a recent result of Glazyrin, showing that an orthonormal basis $\{e_{i}\}_{i=1}^{d}$ joined with the vectors $\{e_{j}\}_{j=1}^{m}$, where $1\leq m < d$ minimizes the $p$-frame potential for…

We study the minimizers of the fusion frame potential in the case that both the weights and the dimensions of the subspaces are fixed and not necessarily equal. Using a concept of irregularity we provide a description of the local (that are…

Let $F \in \mathbb{Z}[x_0, \ldots, x_n]$ be homogeneous of degree $d$ and assume that $F$ is not a `nullform', i.e., there is an invariant $I$ of forms of degree $d$ in $n+1$ variables such that $I(F) \neq 0$. Equivalently, $F$ is…

The problem of calculating exact lower bounds for the number of $k$-faces of $d$-polytopes with $n$ vertices, for each value of $k$, and characterising the minimisers, has recently been solved for $n\le2d$. We establish the corresponding…

Given a parametrized family of finite frames, we consider the optimization problem of finding the member of this family whose coefficient space most closely contains a given data vector. This nonlinear least squares problem arises naturally…

We determine the order of magnitude of the $n$th $\ell_p$-polarization constant of the unit sphere $S^{d-1}$ for every $n,d \geq 1$ and $p>0$. For $p=2$, we prove that extremizers are isotropic vector sets, whereas for $p=1$, we show that…

In this paper we study the fusion frame potential, that is a generalization of the Benedetto-Fickus (vectorial) frame potential to the finite-dimensional fusion frame setting. The structure of local and global minimizers of this potential…

We prove that the maximal dimension of a $p$-central subspace of the generic symbol $p$-algebra of prime degree $p$ is $p+1$. We do it by proving the following number theoretic fact: let $\{s_1,\dots,s_{p+1}\}$ be $p+1$ distinct nonzero…

In the following, we study the minimization of polynomial potentials $ f(t) $ on the unit circle, where the potentials take the form \[ f(t) = \sum_{i=1}^n b_i x^{2i}, \quad b_i \in \mathbb{R}. \] This form arises in the context of…

A uniform tight frame of N vectors for a d dimensional space is correlation minimizing if among all such frames it is as "nearly" orthogonal as possible, i.e., it minimizes the maximal inner product of unequal vectors. In this paper we…

We investigate the optimal configurations of n points on the unit sphere for a class of potential functions. In particular, we characterize these optimal configurations in terms of their approximation properties within frame theory.…

In 1967, Gr\"unbaum conjectured that the function $$ \phi_k(d+s,d):=\binom{d+1}{k+1}+\binom{d}{k+1}-\binom{d+1-s}{k+1},\; \text{for $2\le s\le d$} $$ provides the minimum number of $k$-faces for a $d$-dimensional polytope (abbreviated as a…

This paper concerns the geometric structure of optimizers for frame potentials. We consider finite, real or complex frames and rotation or unitarily invariant potentials, and mostly specialize to Parseval frames, meaning the frame potential…

We construct a Parseval frame with $n+1$ vectors in $\R^n$ that contains a given vector. We also provide a characterization of unit-norm frames that can be scaled to a Parseval frame.

A SIC consists of N^2 equiangular unit vectors in an N dimensional Hilbert space. The frame potential is a function of N^2 unit vectors. It has a unique global minimum if the vectors form a SIC, and this property has been made use of in…

In this paper we investigate the Meijer's $G$ function $G^{p,1}_{p+1,p+1}$ which for certain parameter values represents the Riemann-Liouville fractional integral of Meijer-N{\o}rlund function $G^{p,0}_{p,p}$. Our results for…

We will study an open problem pertaining to the uniqueness of minimizers for a class of variational problems emanating from Meyer's model for the decomposition of an image into a geometric part and a texture part. Mainly, we are interested…
