Energy-minimizing set of discrete points in a bounded domain

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^3$ be a smooth, bounded domain. Let $x_1,\ldots,x_n \in \overline{\Omega}$ be chosen so as to minimize $$ \sum_{1\leq i<j\leq n} \frac{1}{|y_i - y_j|} $$ over all ...

Does there exist a compactly supported integrable function with infinite Coulomb energy?

The title of the question pretty much says it all. I am looking for a function $f\in L^1(\Omega)$, where $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^3$ is a bounded domain, such that $$ E[f] = \iint\limits_{\Omega\...
