A decomposition theorem of the Möbius energy. II: Variational formulae and estimates (Q500270): Difference between revisions

In this paper, the authors show that the first and second variations of the Möbius energy components are defined as multi-linear functionals on a Sobolev space \(X\). Using the decomposition given in the first paper the authors obtain explicit expressions for the variational formulae along with estimates on \(X\) and other function spaces.
