Sets of Minimal Capacity and Extremal Domains

TLDR
In this article, a unique existence theorem for extremal domains and their complementary sets of minimal capacity is proved, and analytic tools for their characterization are presented; most notable are here quadratic differentials and a specific symmetry property of the Green function in the extremal domain.
Abstract
Let f be a function meromorphic in a neighborhood of infinity. The central problem in the present investigation is to find the largest domain D \subset C to which the function f can be extended in a meromorphic and singlevalued manner. 'Large' means here that the complement C\D is minimal with respect to (logarithmic) capacity. Such extremal domains play an important role in Pad'e approximation. In the paper a unique existence theorem for extremal domains and their complementary sets of minimal capacity is proved. The topological structure of sets of minimal capacity is studied, and analytic tools for their characterization are presented; most notable are here quadratic differentials and a specific symmetry property of the Green function in the extremal domain. A local condition for the minimality of the capacity is formulated and studied. Geometric estimates for sets of minimal capacity are given. Basic ideas are illustrated by several concrete examples, which are also used in a discussion of the principal differences between the extremality problem under investigation and some classical problems from geometric function theory that possess many similarities, which for instance is the case for Chebotarev's Problem.

Exponential node clustering at singularities for rational approximation, quadrature, and PDEs

TL;DR: A theoretical model of the tapering effect is proposed based on the Hermite contour integral and potential theory, which suggests that tapering doubles the rate of convergence in rational approximations of functions with singularities.

Logarithmic Potentials with External Fields

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the effects of an external field (or weight) on the minimum energy problem and provide a unified approach to seemingly different problems in constructive analysis, such as the asymptotic analysis of orthogonal polynomials, the limited behavior of weighted Fekete points, the existence and construction of fast decreasing polynomial, the numerical conformal mapping of simply and doubly connected domains, generalization of the Weierstrass approximation theorem to varying weights, and the determination of convergence rates for best approximating rational functions.
