Abstract: We describe a framework for extending the asymptotic behavior of a short-range interaction from the unit cube to general compact subsets of $mathbb{R}^d$. This framework allows us to give a unified treatment of asymptotics of hypersingular Riesz energies and optimal quantizers. We further obtain new results about the scale-invariant nearest neighbor interactions, such as the $k$-nearest neighbor truncated Riesz energy. Our generalized approach has applications to methods for generating distributions with prescribed density: strongly-repulsive Riesz energies, centroidal Voronoi tessellations, and a popular meshing algorithm due to Persson and Strang.
