Abstract

The asymptotic approximation of continuous minimal s-Riesz energy by the discrete minimal energy of systems of n points on regular sets in \(\mathbb{R}^{3}\) is studied. For this purpose an optimization framework for the numerical solution of the corresponding Gauß variational problem based on an interior point method is developed. Moreover, numerical results for ellipsoids and tori are presented.
