Packing of 18 Equal Circles on a Sphere.
We present a novel approach for bounding the resolvent of for large energies. It is shown here that there exist a large integer and a large number so that relative to the usual weighted -norm, for all . This requires suitable decay and smoothness conditions on . The estimate (2) is trivial when , but difficult for large since the gradient term exactly cancels the natural decay of the free resolvent. To obtain (2), we introduce a conical decomposition of the resolvent and then sum over...
