Abstract: Let z=x+iyinmathbbH:=z=x+iyinmathbbC:y>0 and heta(s;z)=sum(m,n)inmathbbZ2esfracpiy|mz+n|2 be the theta function associated with the lattice Lambda=mathbbZopluszmathbbZ. In this paper we consider the following pair of minimization problems min_{ mathbb{H} } heta (2;frac{z+1}{2})+ ho heta (1;z),;; hoin[0,infty), min_{ mathbb{H} } heta (1; frac{z+1}{2})+ ho heta (2; z),;; hoin[0,infty), where the parameter hoin[0,infty) represents the competition of two intertwining lattices. We find that as ho varies the optimal lattices admit a novel pattern: they move from rectangular (the ratio of long and short side changes from sqrt3 to 1), square, rhombus (the angle changes from pi/2 to pi/3) to hexagonal; furthermore, there exists a closed interval of ho such that the optimal lattices is always square lattice. This is in sharp contrast to optimal lattice shapes for single theta function (ho=infty case), for which the hexagonal lattice prevails. As a consequence, we give a partial answer to optimal lattice arrangements of vortices in competing systems of Bose-Einstein condensates as conjectured (and numerically and experimentally verified) by Mueller-Ho cite{Mue2002}.
