我们给出了一个严格的计算机辅助证明,证明三角形双金字塔是球体上五个点的唯一构型,它在全局上最小化库仑(1/r)势。对于(1/r 2)势,我们也证明了同样的结果。本文的主要数学贡献是一个相当有效的能量估计,适用于任何数量的点和任何幂律势。
We give a rigorous computer-assisted proof that the triangular bipyramid is the unique configuration of five points on the sphere that globally minimizes the Coulomb (1/r) potential. We also prove the same result for the (1/r 2) potential. The main mathematical contribution of the paper is a fairly efficient energy estimate that works for any number of points and any power-law potential.
