Abstract: We study minimum energy problems relative to the $alpha$-Riesz kernel $|x-y{|}^{alpha-n}$, $alphain(0,2]$, over signed Radon measures $mu$ on $mathbb{R}^n$, $ngeqslant3$, associated with a generalized condenser $(A_1,A_2)$, where $A_1$ is a relatively closed subset of a domain $D$ and $A_2=mathbb{R}^{n}setminusD$. We show that, though $A_{2}capmathrm{Cl}_{mathbb{R}^n}{A}_1$ may have nonzero capacity, this minimum energy problem is uniquely solvable (even in the presence of an external field) if we restrict ourselves to $mu$ with $m{u}^{+}leqslantxi$, where a constraint $xi$ is properly chosen. We establish the sharpness of the sufficient conditions on the solvability thus obtained, provide descriptions of the weighted $alpha$-Riesz potentials of the solutions, single out their characteristic properties, and analyze their supports. The approach developed is mainly based on the establishment of an intimate relationship between the constrained minimum $alpha$-Riesz energy problem over signed measures associated with $(A_1,A_2)$ and the constrained minimum $alpha$-Green energy problem over positive measures carried by $A_1$. The results are illustrated by examples.

Review text

Let $A_1,A_2\subset\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 3$, be sets such that $A_1\subset D$ is relatively closed and $A_2\subset D^c$. The sets $A_i$ are thought of as plates (a condenser) which may touch, i.e., $A_2\cap \overline{A_1}$ may have even infinite capacity w.r.t.\ the $\alpha$ Riesz kernel $\kappa(x,y):=|x-y|^{\alpha-n}$, $\alpha\in (0,2]$. Throughout $\mu=\mu^+-\mu^-$ is a Radon measure with Hahn-Jordan decomposition. The authors study minimum energy problems (aka weighted minimum energy problems) related to the kernel $\kappa(x,y)$ and the infimum is taken w.r.t.\ certain classes of signed Radon measures on $\mathbb{R}^n$ satisfying, in particular, $\mathrm{supp}(\mu^+)\subset A_1$, $\mathrm{supp}(\mu^-)\subset A_2$, with the normalization $\mu^+(A_1)=\mu^-(A_2)=1$. The classical condenser problem does not have a solution in this setting, but under an additional requirement, namely $\mu^+\leq\xi$ with a properly chosen $\xi$, the problem admits a unique solution. Typically, $\xi$ is a positive Radon measure supported by $A_1$ and having finite $\kappa$-energy and total mass $1<\xi(A_1)<\infty$. Some examples are given.
