Conjectured convergence of electrostatic energy for Apollonian gaskets
Conjectured convergence of electrostatic energy for Apollonian gaskets
Let be the set of gasket points used in the source, let denote the distance between points, and define the normalized electrostatic energy by
Electrostatic energy convergence conjecture. There exists a constant such that
The normalization is chosen to match the electrostatic energy of an array of electrons up to the factor . Numerical experiments suggest convergence to a positive constant, but no proof or resolution is supplied here.
