Abstract

Let S d be a unit sphere in ℝ d+1, and let α be a positive real number. For pairwise different points x 1,x 2, . . . ,x N S d , we consider a functional E α (x 1,x 2, . . . ,x N ) = Σ ij ||x i x j ||α . The following theorem is proved: for αd − 2, the functional E α (x 1,x 2, . . . ,x N ) does not have local maxima.
