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…

Capacitary measures form a class of measures that vanish on sets of capacity zero. These measures are compact with respect to so-called $\gamma$-convergence, which relates a sequence of measures to the sequence of solutions of relaxed…
