A famous result of Siciak is how the Siciak-Zakharyuta functions, sometimes called global extremal functions or pluricomplex Green functions with a pole at infinity, of two sets relate to the Siciak-Zakharyuta function of their cartesian…

We establish disc formulas for the Siciak-Zahariuta extremal function of an arbitrary open subset of complex affine space, generalizing Lempert's formula for the convex case. This function is also known as the pluricomplex Green function…
We study various regularization operators on plurisubharmonic functions that preserve Lelong classes with growth given by certain compact convex sets. The purpose is to show that the weighted Siciak-Zakharyuta functions associated with…
This paper is a survey of plurisubharmonic theory where the usual polynomial ring is replaced by a polynomial ring $\mathcal P^S(\mathbb C^n)$ where the $m$-th degree polynomials have exponents restricted to $mS$, where $S\subseteq \mathbb…
We prove that for any given upper semicontinuous function $\varphi$ on an open subset $E$ of $\mathbb C^n\setminus\{0\}$, such that the complex cone generated by $E$ minus the origin is connected, the homogeneous Siciak-Zaharyuta function…
We work in the setting of weighted pluripotential theory arising from polynomials associated to a convex body $P$ in $({\bf R}^+)^d$. We define the {\it logarithmic indicator function} on ${\bf C}^d$: $$H_P(z):=\sup_{ J\in P} \log |z^{…
We prove a disc formula for the weighted Siciak-Zahariuta extremal function $V_{X,q}$ for an upper semicontinuous function $q$ on an open connected subset $X$ in $\C^n$. This function is also known as the weighted Green function with…
The main result of this paper is that an entire function $f$ that is in $L^2(\mathbb C^n,\psi)$ with respect to the weight $\psi(z)=2mH_S(z)+\gamma\log(1+|z|^2)$ is a polynomial with exponents in $m\widehat S_\Gamma$. Here $H_S$ is the…
We use our disc formula for the Siciak-Zahariuta extremal function to characterize the polynomial hull of a connected compact subset of complex affine space in terms of analytic discs.
We discuss the Siciak-Zaharjuta extremal function of pluripotential theory for the unit ball in C^d for spaces of polynomials with the notion of degree determined by a convex body P. We then use it to analyze the approximation properties of…
We prove two disc formulas for the Siciak-Zahariuta extremal function of an arbitrary open subset of complex affine space. We use these formulas to characterize the polynomial hull of an arbitrary compact subset of complex affine space in…
We establish plurisubharmonicity of envelopes of certain classical disc functionals on locally irreducible complex spaces, thereby generalizing the corresponding results for complex manifolds. We also find new formulae expressing the…
We study the approximation of holomorphic functions of several complex variables by the ring $\mathcal{P}^S(\mathbb{C}^n)$ of polynomials whose exponents are restricted to a convex cone $\mathbb{R}_+S$ for some compact convex $S\in…
In 1962 J. Siciak introduced polynomial extremal function. The Siciak extremal function is one of the most important tool to investigate derivatives of polynomials. W. Ple\'sniak in the circle of papers (most important joint with W.…
We investigate random compact sets with random functions defined thereon, such as polynomials, rational functions, the pluricomplex Green function and the Siciak extremal function. One surprising consequence of our study is that randomness…
For each closed, positive (1,1)-current \omega on a complex manifold X and each \omega-upper semicontinuous function \phi on X we associate a disc functional and prove that its envelope is equal to the supremum of all…
We study weighted Chebyshev polynomials on compact subsets of the complex plane with respect to a bounded weight function. We establish existence and uniqueness of weighted Chebyshev polynomials and derive weighted analogs of Kolmogorov's…
We consider Chebyshev polynomials, $T_n(z)$, for infinite, compact sets $\frak{e} \subset \mathbb{R}$ (that is, the monic polynomials minimizing the sup-norm, $\Vert T_n \Vert_{\frak{e}}$, on $\frak{e}$). We resolve a $45+$ year old…
We study the analog of power series expansions on the Sierpinski gasket, for analysis based on the Kigami Laplacian. The analog of polynomials are multiharmonic functions, which have previously been studied in connection with Taylor…
