Abstract
For Riesz s-potentials K(x,y)=|xây|âs, s>0, we investigate separation and covering properties of N-point configurations ÏNâ={x1,â¦,xN} on a d-dimensional compact set AâRâ for which the minimum of âj=1NK(x,xj) is maximal. Such configurations are called N-point optimal Riesz s-polarization (or Chebyshev) configurations. For a large class of d-dimensional sets A we show that for s>d the configurations ÏNâ have the optimal order of covering. Furthermore, for these sets we investigate the asymptotics as Nââ of the best covering constant. For these purposes we compare best-covering configurations with optimal Rieszs-polarization configurations and determine the sth root asymptotic behavior (as sââ) of the maximal s-polarization constants. In addition, we introduce the notion of “weak separation” for point configurations and prove this property for optimal Riesz s-polarization configurations on A for s>dim(A), and for dâ1⩽s
