For suitable $\\vartheta$, we find necessary and/or sufficient conditions for the existence of the solution to the problem, give a description of its support, provide various alternative characterizations, and prove convergence theorems when $F$ is approximated by partially ordered families of sets. The analysis performed is substantially based on the perfectness of the $\\alpha$-Green kernel, discovered by Fuglede and Zorii (Ann. Acad. Sci. Fenn. Math., 2018).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2025-05-04T21:31:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "31C15" ], "keywords": [ "green energy problems", "weighted minimum", "green kernel", "riesz kernel", "gauss functional" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 21, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
