Chebyshev constants, transfinite diameter, and computation on complex algebraic curves

Abstract

Notions of directional Chebyshev constant and transfinite diameter have recently been studied on certain algebraic curves in $\mathbb{C}^2$. The theory is extended here to curves in $\mathbb{C}^N$ for arbitrary $N$. The results are analogous but require more methods from computational algebraic geometry.
