Convexity and stiffness in energy functions for electrostatic simulations
Justine S. Pujos, A. C. Maggs
We study the properties of convex functionals which have been proposed for the simulation of charged molecular systems within the Poisson-Boltzmann approximation. We consider the e…

Legendre transforms for electrostatic energies
Justine S. Pujos, A. C. Maggs
We review the use of Legendre transforms in the formulation of electrostatic energies in condensed matter. We show how to render standard functionals expressed in terms of the elec…

Energy gaps in quantum first-order mean-field-like transitions: The problems that quantum annealing cannot solve
T. Jorg, F. Krzakala, J. Kurchan +2
We study first-order quantum phase transitions in models where the mean-field traitment is exact, and the exponentially fast closure of the energy gap with the system size at the t…
