Abstract: The Raney numbers are a class of combinatorial numbers generalising the Fuss--Catalan numbers. They are indexed by a pair of positive real numbers $(p,r)$ with $p>1$ and $0<rlep$, and form the moments of a probability density function. For certain $(p,r)$ the latter has the interpretation as the density of squared singular values for certain random matrix ensembles, and in this context equilibrium problems characterising the Raney densities for $(p,r)=(heta+1,1)$ and $(heta/2+1,1/2)$ have recently been proposed. Using two different techniques --- one based on the Wiener--Hopf method for the solution of integral equations and the other on an analysis of the algebraic equation satisfied by the Green's function --- we establish the validity of the equilibrium problems for general $heta>0$ and similarly use both methods to identify the equilibrium problem for $(p,r)=(heta/q+1,1/q)$, $heta>0$ and $qinmathbb{Z}^{+}$. The Wiener--Hopf method is used to extend the latter to parameters $(p,r)=(heta/q+1,m+1/q)$ for $m$ a non-negative integer, and also to identify the equilibrium problem for a family of densities with moments given by certain binomial coefficients.
