COMMENT

Floor of the right-hand column of the sub-table for k=4 given by Ballinger et al., in the table of data related to their paper. This table shows the conjectural minimal-energy configurations of n points on the unit sphere in R^k (for k from 2 to 64), under the harmonic potential function: the potential energy between two points at distance r is 1/r^(k-2). In each entry in the table, the column for n links to coordinates for the configuration (given as a plain text file in which each line lists the coordinates for one point).

EXAMPLE

a(7) = 9 because the harmonic energy given for 7 points on the 3-dimensional hypersurface of the 4-dimensional hypersphere is 9.500000000000 and floor(9.5) = 9. The coordinates of the 7 points are: (-0.774303376406259, -0.485591416628164, -0.399742015818543, +0.069725018266390); (-0.041986168871976, -0.225694667224730, +0.501037029764170, +0.834422539014180); (+0.041986168871976, +0.225694667224730, -0.501037029764170, -0.834422539014180); (+0.487341518427503, -0.842251530902810, +0.039549697743334, -0.227038376749526); (+0.104024891455872, +0.475037164815855, -0.683629522540632, +0.544214286758604); (+0.774303376406259, +0.485591416628164, +0.399742015818543, -0.069725018266390); (-0.591366409883375, +0.367214366086955, +0.644079824797298, -0.317175910009077).
