This model appears in the study of di-block copolymers. The mode l describes\, roughly speaking\, the balance between long range attraction and short range repulsion.\n\nFor the two dimensional case we compare loc al minimizers of the Ohta-Kawasaki functional. In particular\, we validate part of the phase diagram\, identifying regions of parameter space where rolls are favorable\, where hexagonally packed spots have lowest energy an d finally where the constant mixed state does. This includes determining o ptimal domain sizes\, which are unknown a priori. In terms of the practica l realities of applying the computer assisted theorems ideas\, this work r epresents a step forward past clean-cut test problems to more elaborate va riational problems in pattern formation.\n\nFor the three dimensional case we illustrate the work in progress by fixing a cubical domain and finding several highly symmetric periodic stationary states. This is based on joi nt work with JF Williams (SFU).\n DTSTART:20180123T200000Z DTEND:20180123T210000Z LOCATION:Room 1214\, Burnside Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B9\, 805 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Jan Bouwe van den Berg ( Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) URL:/mathstat/channels/event/jan-bouwe-van-den-berg-vr ije-universiteit-amsterdam-283791 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
