Further Information

We study the orthogonal polynomials associated with the equilibrium measure, in logarithmic potential theory, living on the attractor of an Iterated Function System. We construct sequences of discrete measures, that converge weakly to the equilibrium measure, and we compute their Jacobi matrices via standard procedures, suitably enhanced for the scope. Numerical estimates of the convergence rate to the limit Jacobi matrix are provided, that show stability and efficiency of the whole procedure. As a secondary result, we also compute Jacobi matrices of equilibrium measures on finite sets of intervals, and of balanced measures of Iterated Function Systems. These algorithms can reach large orders: we study the asymptotic behavior of the orthogonal polynomials and we show that they can be used to efficiently compute Green's functions and conformal mappings of interest in constructive function theory.
