In this paper we study the existence of minimizers for interaction energies with the presence of external potentials. We consider a class of subharmonic interaction potentials, which include the Riesz potentials $|{\bf…
Linear interpolation convexity (LIC) has served as the crucial condition for the uniqueness of interaction energy minimizers. We introduce the concept of the LIC radius which extends the LIC condition. Uniqueness of minimizer up to…
In this paper, we consider the one-dimensional interaction energy $\frac{1}{2}\int_{\mathbb{R}}(W*\rho)(x)d\rho(x) + \int_{\mathbb{R}}U(x)d\rho(x)$ where the interaction potential $W(x)= -\frac{|x|^b}{b},\,1\le b \le 2$ and the external…
We consider minimizers of the N-particle interaction potential energy and briefly review numerical methods used to calculate them. We consider simple pair potentials which are repulsive at short distances and attractive at long distances,…
We study a two parameter family of energy minimization problems for interaction energies $\mathcal{E}_{\alpha,\beta}$ with attractive-repulsive potential $W_{\alpha,\beta}$. We develop a concavity principle, which allows us to provide a…
We study existence, unicity and other geometric properties of the minimizers of the energy functional $$ \|u\|^2_{H^s(\Omega)}+\int_\Omega W(u)\,dx, $$ where $\|u\|_{H^s(\Omega)}$ denotes the total contribution from $\Omega$ in the $H^s$…
Densities of particles on $\Rn$ which interact pairwise through an attractive-repulsive power-law potential $W_{\al,\bt}(x) = |x|^\al/\al-|x|^\bt/\bt$ have often been used to explain patterns produced by biological and physical systems. In…
We solve explicitly a certain minimization problem for probability measures in one dimension involving an interaction energy that arises in the modelling of aggregation phenomena. We show that in a certain regime minimizers are absolutely…
In this paper, we focus on finite Bravais lattice energies per point in two dimensions. We compute the first and second derivatives of these energies. We prove that the Hessian at the square and the triangular lattice are diagonal and we…
We show that the support of any local minimizer of the interaction energy consists of isolated points whenever the interaction potential is of class $C^2$ and mildly repulsive at the origin; moreover, if the minimizer is global, then its…
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,…
In this paper, we are concerned with local minimizers of an interaction energy governed by repulsive-attractive potentials of power-law type in one dimension. We prove that sum of two Dirac masses is the unique local minimizer under the…
We consider pairwise interaction energies and we investigate their minimizers among lattices with prescribed minimal vectors (length and coordination number), i.e. the one corresponding to the crystal's bonds. In particular, we show the…
In this work we investigate the energy of minimizers of Rayleigh-type quotients of the form $$ \frac{\int_\Omega A(|\nabla u|)\, dx}{\int_\Omega A(|u|)\, dx}. $$ These minimizers are eigenfunctions of the generalized laplacian defined as…
We investigate the minimization of the energy per point $E\_f$ among $d$-dimensional Bravais lattices, depending on the choice of pairwise potential equal to a radially symmetric function $f(|x|^2)$. We formulate criteria for minimality and…
Particles interacting through long-range attraction and short-range repulsion given by power-laws have been widely used to model physical and biological systems, and to predict or explain many of the patterns they display. Apart from rare…
We consider the minimisation of power-law repulsive-attractive interaction energies which occur in many biological and physical situations. We show existence of global minimizers in the discrete setting and get bounds for their supports…
In this paper we consider a general class of anisotropic energies in three dimensions and give a complete characterisation of their minimisers. We show that, depending on the Fourier transform of the interaction potential, the minimiser is…
We study minimizers of non-autonomous energies with minimal growth and coercivity assumptions on the energy. We show that the minimizer is nevertheless the solution of the relevant Euler--Lagrange equation or inequality. The main tool is an…
We investigate existence, uniqueness and asymptotic behavior of minimizers of a family of non-local energy functionals of the type $$ \frac{1}{4}\iint_{\mathbb{R}^{2n}\setminus (\mathbb{R}^n \setminus \Omega)^2}|u(x)-u(y)|^2 K(x-y) \,dx dy…
