We analyse several constructions of random point sets on the sphere $\mathbb{S}^{3}\subset\mathbb{R}^4$ evaluating and comparing them through their discrete logarithmic energy: \begin{equation*} E_0(\omega_N) = \sum_{\substack{i, j=1\\ i…
In this paper, we compute the expected logarithmic energy of solutions to the polynomial eigenvalue problem for random matrices. We generalize some known results for the Shub-Smale polynomials, and the spherical ensemble. These two…
Smale's Seventh Problem asks for an efficient algorithm to generate a configuration of $n$ points on the sphere that nearly minimizes the logarithmic energy. As a candidate starting configuration for this problem, Armentano, Beltr\'an and…
Distributing points on a (possibly high-dimensional) sphere with minimal energy is a long-standing problem in and outside the field of mathematics. This paper considers a novel energy function that arises naturally from statistics and…
We present a generalization of a family of points on $\mathbb{S}^2$, the Diamond ensemble, containing collections of $N$ points on $\mathbb{S}^2$ with very small logarithmic energy for all $N\in\mathbb{N}$. We extend this construction to…
This article is divided in two parts. In the first part we review some recent results concerning the expected number of real roots of random system of polynomial equations. In the second part we deal with a different problem, namely, the…
Using the theory of determinantal point processes we give upper bounds for the Green and Riesz energies for the rotation group SO(3), with Riesz parameter up to 3. The Green function is computed explicitly, and a lower bound for the Green…
We enumerate and classify all stationary logarithmic configurations of d+2 points on the unit (d-1)-sphere in d-dimensions. In particular, we show that the logarithmic energy attains its relative minima at configurations that consist of two…
We consider the problem to determine the optimal rotations $R \in {\rm SO}(n)$ which minimize $$W: {\rm SO}(n) \to \mathbb{R}^+_0,\quad W(R\,;D) := ||{\rm sym}(RD - 1)||^2$$ for a given diagonal matrix $D := {\rm diag}(d_1, ..., d_n) \in…
In this article we consider the distribution of $N$ points on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{d-1}$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ interacting via logarithmic potential. A characterization theorem of the stationary configurations is derived when $N=d+2$…
For surfaces of revolution $B$ in $\R^3$, we investigate the limit distribution of minimum energy point masses on $B$ that interact according to the logarithmic potential $\log (1/r)$, where $r$ is the Euclidean distance between points. We…
Linear programming (polynomial) techniques are used to obtain lower and upper bounds for the potential energy of spherical designs. This approach gives unified bounds that are valid for a large class of potential functions. Our lower bounds…
In exploratory factor analysis, rotation techniques are employed to derive interpretable factor loading matrices. Factor rotations deal with equality-constrained optimization problems aimed at determining a loading matrix based on measure…
We suggest an iterative quantum protocol, allowing to solve optimization problems with a glassy energy landscape. It is based on a periodic cycling around the tricritical point of the many-body localization transition. This ensures that…
In this paper we report on massive computer experiments aimed at finding spherical point configurations that minimize potential energy. We present experimental evidence for two new universal optima (consisting of 40 points in 10 dimensions…
An energy functional for orbital based $O(N)$ calculations is proposed, which depends on a number of non orthogonal, localized orbitals larger than the number of occupied states in the system, and on a parameter, the electronic chemical…
We show an alternative proof of the sharpest known lower bound for the logarithmic energy on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$. We then generalize this proof to get new lower bounds for the Green energy on the unit $n$-sphere $\mathbb{S}^n$.
This paper is devoted to spherical measures and point configurations optimizing three-point energies. Our main goal is to extend the classic optimization problems based on pairs of distances between points to the context of three-point…
We have derived orbital basis sets from scattering theory. They are expressed as polynomial approximations to the energy dependence of a set of partial waves, in quantized form. The corresponding matrices, as well as the Hamiltonian and…
Three-point semidefinite programming bounds are one of the most powerful known tools for bounding the size of spherical codes. In this paper, we use them to prove lower bounds for the potential energy of particles interacting via a pair…
