On the size of multivariate polynomial lemniscates and the convergence of rational approximants

In a previous paper, the author introduced a class of multivariate rational interpolants, which are called optimal Padé-type approximants (OPTA). The main goal of this paper is to extend classical results on convergence both in measure and in capacity of sequences of Padé approximants to the multivariate case using OPTA. To this end, we obtain some estimations of the size of multivariate polynomial lemniscates in terms of the Hausdorff content, which we also think are of some interest.
