Distribution of Point Charges with Small Discrete Energy
We study the asymptotic equidistribution of points near arbitrary compact sets of positive capacity in Rd, d ≥ 2. Our main tools are the energy estimates for Riesz potentials. We also consider the quantitative aspects of this equidistribution in the classical Newtonian case. In particular, we quantify the weak convergence of discrete measures to the equilibrium measure and give the estimates of...
متن کاملNumerical integration of the interaction energy of two point charges
We calculated numerically the energy interaction of two point charged particles. The integral has simple analytical result but is not easily solved numerically. Commercial programs as Mathematica 3.0 and Maple V could not evaluate the integral and Gauss±Legendre method gave poor results. The method of Runge±Kutta integration was capable of solving it with good results. This integral showed to b...
متن کاملMinimal Energy of 100 Point Charges on the Unit Sphere
Before 1909, atoms were thought to consist of a diffuse positive charge surrounded by electrons (the “plum pudding” model). In order to predict the properties of the elements on the periodic table with this model, the distribution of electrons on a sphere had to be studied. This problem was named after Thomson, the originator of the plum pudding model and the first to study it. In 1909, Rutherf...
متن کاملMystery of Point Charges
We discuss the problem of finding an upper bound for the number of equilibrium points of a potential of several fixed point charges in Rn. This question goes back to J. C. Maxwell and M. Morse. Using fewnomial theory we show that for a given number of charges there exists an upper bound independent of the dimension, and show it to be at most 12 for three charges. We conjecture an exact upper bo...
متن کاملGenetic-algorithm energy minimization for point charges on a sphere.
We demonstrate that a new approach for optimizing atomic structures is very eeective for attacking the Thomson problem of nding the lowest energy connguration of N point charges on a unit sphere. Our approach uses a genetic algorithm, combined with a \cut and paste" scheme of mating , that eeciently explores the diierent low energy structures. 1 Not only have we reproduced the known results 2{5...
