. We consider the minimizing problem for energy functionals with two types of competing particles and completely monotone potential on a lattice. We prove that the minima of sum of two completely monotone functions among lattices is located exactly on a special curve which is part of the boundary of the fundamental region. We also establish a universal result for square lattice being the optimal in certain interval, which is surprising. Our result establishes the hexagonal-rhombic-square…

Two-Dimensional Theta Functions and Crystallization among Bravais Lattices
It is proved that if a function is completely monotonic, then the triangular lattice minimizes its energy per particle among Bravais lattices for any given density, and the global minimality is deduced, i.e., without a density constraint, of a triangular lattICE for some Lennard-Jones-type potentials and attractive-repulsive Yukawa potentials.
From the Ginzburg-Landau Model to Vortex Lattice Problems

It is shown that the vortices of minimizer of Ginzburg-Landau, blown-up at a suitable scale, converge to minimizers of W, thus providing a first rigorous hint at the Abrikosov lattices, which is a next order effect compared to the mean-field type results.

We study configurations of points on the unit sphere that minimize potential energy for a broad class of potential functions (viewed as functions of the squared Euclidean distance between points).
