Abstract: The problem of maximizing the $L^p$ norms of chords connecting points on a closed curve separated by arclength $u$ arises in electrostatic and quantum--mechanical problems. It is known that among all closed curves of fixed length, the unique maximizing shape is the circle for $1leple2$, but this is not the case for sufficiently large values of $p$. Here we determine the critical value $p_c(u)$ of $p$ above which the circle is not a local maximizer finding, in particular, that $p_c(frac12L)=frac52$. This corrects a claim made in cite{EHL}.
