In this paper we consider the minimizers of the interaction energies with the power-law interaction potentials $W({\bf x}) = \frac{|{\bf x}|^a}{a} - \frac{|{\bf x}|^b}{b}$ in $d$ dimensions. For odd $d$ with $(a,b)=(3,2-d)$ and even $d$…
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…
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…
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…
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,…
The existence of compactly supported global minimisers for continuum models of particles interacting through a potential is shown under almost optimal hypotheses. The main assumption on the potential is that it is catastrophic, or not…
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…
The purpose of this paper is to consider the minimization problem of the following nonlocal interaction functional \begin{equation*} E[\rho]=\frac{1}{2}\int_{\mathbb{R}^N}…
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 consider the electrostatic Born-Infeld energy \begin{equation*} \int_{\mathbb{R}^N}\left(1-{\sqrt{1-|\nabla u|^2}}\right)\, dx -\int_{\mathbb{R}^N}\rho u\, dx, \end{equation*} where $\rho \in L^{m}(\mathbb{R}^N)$ is an assigned charge…
We consider two particles with a local interaction $U$ in a random potential at a scale $L_1$ (the one particle localization length). A simplified description is provided by a Gaussian matrix ensemble with a preferential basis. We define…
We study a large family of Riesz-type singular interaction potentials with anisotropy in two dimensions. Their associated global energy minimizers are given by explicit formulas whose supports are determined by ellipses under certain…
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…
We solve explicitly a certain minimization problem for probability measures involving an interaction energy that is repulsive at short distances and attractive at large distances. We complement earlier works by showing that part of the…
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…
The interaction potential between supported floating bilayers has been determined by grazing incidence specular and off-specular scattering using synchrotron radiation. Our measurements demonstrate that floating bilayers are significantly…
We consider a non-local interaction energy over bounded densities of fixed mass $m$. We prove that under certain regularity assumptions on the interaction kernel these energies admit minimizers given by characteristic functions of sets when…
Understanding interactions between membranes requires measurements on well-controlled systems close to natural conditions, in which fluctuations play an important role. We have determined, by grazing incidence X-ray scattering, the…
Let $W:R^m\rightarrow R$ be a nonnegative potential with exactly two nondegenerate zeros $a_-\neq a_+\in R^m$. We assume that there are$ N\geq 1$ distinct heteroclinic orbits connecting $a_-$ to $a_+$ represented by maps $ u_1,\ldots,u_N$…
In this paper we give a quantitative stability result for the discrete interaction energy on the multi-dimensional torus, for the periodic Riesz potential. It states that if the number of particles $N$ is large and the discrete interaction…
