A variational principle for Gaussian lattice sums
Laurent Bétermin, Markus Faulhuber, Stefan Steinerberger
We consider a two-dimensional analogue of Jacobi theta functions and prove that, among all lattices with fixed density, the minimal value is maximized by th…
On the Logarithmic Energy of Points on S^2
Stefan Steinerberger
We revisit a classical question: how large is the minimal logarithmic energy of points on $$ \mathcal{E}_{\log}(n) = \min_{x_1, \dots, x_n \in \mathbb{S}^2} \qua…
The smoothest average: Dirichlet, Fejér and Chebyshev
Noah Kravitz, Stefan Steinerberger
We are interested in the ``smoothest'' averaging that can be achieved by convolving functions with an averaging function . More precisely, suppose $u:…
Fourier Uncertainty Principles, Scale Space Theory and the Smoothest Average
Stefan Steinerberger
Let and suppose we are interested in computing its average at a fixed scale. This is easy: we pick the density of a probability distribution with…
On the Wasserstein Distance between Classical Sequences and the Lebesgue Measure
Louis Brown, Stefan Steinerberger
We discuss the classical problem of measuring the regularity of distribution of sets of points in . A recent line of investigation is to study the cost ( mass…
Positive-definite Functions, Exponential Sums and the Greedy Algorithm: a curious Phenomenon
Louis Brown, Stefan Steinerberger
We describe a curious dynamical system that results in sequences of real numbers in with seemingly remarkable properties. Let the function $f:\mathbb{T} \rightarrow \mathbb…
