https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fekete%20problem
In mathematics, the Fekete problem is, given a natural number N and a real s ≥ 0, to find the points x1,...,xN on the 2-sphere for which the s-energy, defined by for s > 0 and by for s = 0, is minimal. For s > 0, such points are called s-Fekete points, and for s = 0, logarithmic Fekete points (see ). More generally,...
