Abstract:
We analyze a minimum energy problem for a discrete electrostatic model in the complex plane and discuss some applications. A natural characteristic distinguishing the state of minimum energy from other equilibrium states is established. It enables us to gain insight into the structure of positive trigonometric polynomials and Dirichlet spaces associated with finitely atomic measures. We also derive a related family of linear second order differential equations with polynomial solutions.
