АннотацияFor an interval E = [a, b] on the real line, let µ be either the equilibrium measure, or the normalized Lebesgue measure of E, and let V µ denote the associated logarithmic potential. In the present paper, we construct a function f which is analytic on E and possesses four branch points of second order outside of E such that the family of the admissible compacta of f has no minimizing elements with regard to the extremal theoretic-potential problem, in the external field equals V −µ .Bibliography: 35 items.rational approximants, Padé approximation, orthogonal polynomials, distribution of poles, convergence in capacity Dedicated to the memory of Andrei Aleksandrovich Gonchar and Herbert Stahl
