Instabilities of a family of oblate stellar spheroids
We have examined the stability of a sequence of oblate elliptical galaxy models having the Stäckel form suggested by Kuz’min & Kutuzov. We have employed the 2-integral DFs given by Dejonghe & de Zeeuw for which flattened non-rotating models are characterized by counter-streaming motion and are radially cool; we introduce net rotation in some models by changing the sign of the z-component of ang...
متن کاملVariational formulation for the electrostatic potential in dielectric continua
The thermodynamic potential for fixed charges in dielectric continua is given for arbitrary values of the polarization density. Minimization of the functional gives the equilibrium polarization density ~equivalently image charges! and the electrostatic potential throughout the media. The functional, which in general involves volume integrals, for the case of piecewise uniform dielectrica is red...
متن کاملCharges fit to electrostatic potentials. II. Can atomic charges be unambiguously fit to electrostatic potentials?
The present work examines the conditioning of the least-squares matrix for obtaining potential derived charges and presents a modification of the CHELP method for fitting atomic charges to electrostatic potentials. Results from singular value decompositions (SVDs) of the least-squares matrices show that, in general, the least-squares matrix for this fitting problem will be rank deficient. Thus,...
متن کاملExtending the fast multipole method to charges inside or outside a dielectric sphere
In this paper, we propose a novel method to extend the fast multipole method (FMM) to calculate the electrostatic potential due to charges inside or outside a dielectric sphere. The key result which allows such an extension is the construction of a small number (two for a 10 2 relative error in reaction potentials inside the sphere) of image point charges for source point charges inside or outs...
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...
