Abstract In [ 3] we considered energy minimization of pair potentials among periodic sets of a fixed-point density. For a large class of potentials we presented sufficient conditions for a point lattice to give a local optimum among periodic sets. We hereby, in particular, derived a local version of Cohn and Kumar’s conjecture [ 1, Conjecture 9.4] by which the hexagonal lattice $\textsf{A}_2$, the root lattice $\textsf{E}_8$, and the Leech lattice are globally universally optimal. Latter conjecture has recently been proved for $\textsf{E}_8$ and the Leech lattice by Cohn et al. [ 2].

Results presented for the aliphatic hydrocarbon-water interface show that the recent hypothesis of the free energy minimization called interfacial interaction rule, which was suggested as a theoretical base of the Antonow rule, cannot be generally valid.
