We prove a Chebyshev transform formula for a notion of (weighted) transfinite diameter that is defined using a generalized notion of polynomial degree. We also generalize Leja points to this setting. As an application of our main formula,…
The study is motivated by the known fact that, in the noncompact case, the main minimum-problem of the theory of interior capacities of condensers in a locally compact space is in general unsolvable, and this occurs even under very natural…
We provide a general framework and indicate relations between the notions of transfinite diameter, homogeneous transfinite diameter, and weighted transfinite diameter for sets in C^N. An ingredient is a formula of Rumely which relates the…
The study deals with the theory of interior capacities of condensers in a locally compact space, a condenser being treated here as a countable, locally finite collection of arbitrary sets with the sign +1 or -1 prescribed such that the…
We consider a constrained minimal energy problem with an external field over noncompact classes of infinite dimensional vector measures on a locally compact space. The components are positive measures (charges) that are constrained from…
The logarithmic capacity (also called Chebyshev constant or transfinite diameter) of two real intervals $[-1,\alpha]\cup[\beta,1]$ has been given explicitly with the help of Jacobi's elliptic and theta functions already by Achieser in 1930.…
Casimir energy is a nonlocal effect; its magnitude cannot be deduced from heat kernel expansions, even those including the integrated boundary terms. On the other hand, it is known that the divergent terms in the regularized (but not yet…
We introduce and study the unconstrained polarization (or Chebyshev) problem which requires to find an $N$-point configuration that maximizes the minimum value of its potential over a set $A$ in $p$-dimensional Euclidean space. This problem…
The estimates of the uniform norm of the Chebyshev polynomial associated with a compact set $K$ consisting of a finite number of continua in the complex plane are established. These estimates are exact (up to a constant factor) in the case…
For "Riesz-like" kernels $K(x,y)=f(|x-y|)$ on $A\times A$, where $A$ is a compact $d$-regular set $A\subset \mathbb{R}^p$, we prove a minimum principle for potentials $U_K^\mu=\int K(x,y)d\mu(x)$, where $\mu$ is a Borel measure supported on…
Given a compact set $K$ one may define a transfinite diameter for $K$ via a limiting process involving maximising a Vandermonde determinant over $K$ with respect to a monomial basis. Different transfinite diameters may be obtained by using…
The multivariate integer Chebyshev problem is to find polynomials with integer coefficients that minimize the supremum norm over a compact set in $\C^d.$ We study this problem on general sets, but devote special attention to product sets…
The paper is devoted to systematic study of the $\chi$-capacity (underlying the classical capacity) of infinite dimensional quantum channels. An essential feature of this case is the natural appearance of the input constraints and infinite,…
We consider energy-constrained infinite-dimensional quantum channels from a given system (satisfying a certain condition) to any other systems. We show that dealing with basic capacities of these channels we may assume (accepting…
If phi(z) is a rational function on P^1 of degree at least 2 with coefficients in a number field k, we compute the homogeneous transfinite diameter of the v-adic filled Julia sets of phi for all places v of k by introducing a new quantity…
The Casimir energy of an infinite compact cylinder placed in a uniform unbounded medium is investigated under the continuity condition for the light velocity when crossing the interface. As a characteristic parameter in the problem the…
The Cheeger constant of an open set of the Euclidean space is defined by minimizing the ratio "perimeter over volume", among all its smooth compactly contained subsets. We consider a natural variant of this problem, where the volume of…
Properties of Riesz capacity are developed with respect to the kernel exponent $p \in (-\infty,n)$, namely that capacity is monotonic as a function of $p$, that its endpoint limits recover the diameter and volume of the set, and that…
In a complete metric space that is equipped with a doubling measure and supports a Poincar\'e inequality, we study strict subsets, i.e. sets whose variational capacity with respect to a larger reference set is finite, in the case $p=1$.…
In Bayesian statistics, a continuity property of the posterior distribution with respect to the observable variable is crucial as it expresses well-posedness, i.e., stability with respect to errors in the measurement of data. Essentially,…
