“…The classical discrete polarization problem requires finding positions of N points on S d with the largest absolute minimum over S d of their total potential. It was studied in works [27,1,2,19,20,10,29,13,11,3,9]. In particular, for the Riesz and logarithmic potential on the sphere, the complete solution to the discrete polarization problem is known only for N points on the unit circle S 1 and for up to d + 2 points on S d , d ≥ 2.…”
