Estimating the Number of Stable Configurations for the Generalized Thomson Problem
Matthew Calef, Whitney Griffiths, Alexia Schulz
Given a natural number N, one may ask what configuration of N points on the two-sphere minimizes the discrete generalized Coulomb energy. If one applies a gradient-based numerical…

Observed Asymptotic Differences in Energies of Stable and Minimal Point Configurations on and the Role of Defects
M. Calef, W. Griffiths, A. Schulz +2
Observations suggest that configurations of points on a sphere that are stable with respect to a Riesz potential distribute points uniformly over the sphere. Further, these stable…
