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 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 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…

The classical Siciak-Zakharyuta theorem states that the Siciak-Zakharyuta function $V_{E}$ of a subset $E$ of $\mathbb C^n$, also called a pluricomplex Green function or global exremal function of $E$, equals the logarithm of the Siciak…
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…
In this paper, we derive a formula for the pluricomplex Green function of the bidisk with two poles of equal weights. In 2017, Kosi\'nski, Thomas, and Zwonek proved the Lempert function and the pluricomplex Green function are equal on the…
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 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…
We study the smoothness of the Siciak-Zaharjuta extremal function associated to a convex body in $\mathbb{R}^2$. We also prove a formula relating the complex equilibrium measure of a convex body in $\mathbb{R}^n$ to that of its Robin…
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…
Given a domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb C$, the Lempert function is a functional on the space $Hol (\D,\Omega)$ of analytic disks with values in $\Omega$, depending on a set of poles in $\Omega$. We generalize its definition to the case…
The Lempert function for a set of poles in a domain of $\mathbb C^n$ at a point $z$ is obtained by taking a certain infimum over all analytic disks going through the poles and the point $z$, and majorizes the corresponding multi-pole…
For $\Omega$ a domain in $\mathbb C^n$, the pluricomplex Green function with poles $a_1, ...,a_N \in \Omega$ is defined as $G(z):=\sup \{u(z): u\in PSH_-(\Omega), u(x)\le \log \|x-a_j\|+C_j \text{when} x \to a_j, j=1,...,N \}$. When there…
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…
Using a recent result of L\'arusson and Poletsky regarding plurisubharmonic subextensions we prove a disc formula for the quasiplurisubharmonic global extremal function for domains in complex projective space. As a corollary we get a…
The Lempert function for several poles $a_0, ..., a_N$ in a domain $\Omega$ of $\mathbb C^n$ is defined at the point $z \in \Omega$ as the infimum of $\sum^N_{j=0} \log|\zeta_j|$ over all the choices of points $\zeta_j$ in the unit disk so…
We discuss the Siciak-Zaharjuta extremal function of a real convex body in C^n, a solution of the homogeneous complex Monge-Ampere equation on the exterior of the convex body. We determine several conditions under which a foliation by…
We introduce a new type of pluricomplex Green function which has a logarithmic pole along a complex subspace A of a complex manifold X. It is the largest negative plurisubharmonic function on X whose Lelong number is at least the Lelong…
