Abstract: In this paper we introduce several extremal sequences of points on locally compact metric spaces and study their asymptotic properties. These sequences are defined through a greedy algorithm by minimizing a certain energy functional whose expression involves an external field. Some results are also obtained in the context of Euclidian spaces $mathbb{R}^p$, $pgeq2$. As a particular example, given a closed set $Asubsetmathbb{R}^p$, a lower semicontinuous function $f:mathbb{R}^{p}o(-infty,+infty]$ and an integer $mgeq2$, we investigate (under suitable conditions on $A$ and $f$) sequences ${a_i}_1^{infty}subsetA$ that are constructed inductively by selecting the first $m$ points $a_1,\mathrm{...},a_m$ so that the functional [ sum_{1leq i<jleq m}frac{1}{|x_{i}-x_{j}|^{s}}+(m-1)sum_{i=1}^{m}f(x_{i}) ] attains its minimum on $A^m$ for $x_i=a_i$, $1leqileqm$, and for every integer $Ngeq1$, the points $a_{mN+1},\mathrm{...},a_{m(N+1)}$ are chosen to minimize the expression [ sum_{i=1}^{m}sum_{l=1}^{mN}frac{1}{|x_{i}-a_{l}|^{s}} +sum_{1leq i<jleq m}frac{1}{|x_{i}-x_{j}|^{s}}+((N+1)m-1)sum_{i=1}^{m}f(x_{i}) ] on $A^m$. We assume here that $sin[p-2,p)$. An extension of a result due to G. Choquet concerning point configurations with minimal energy is also obtained and constitutes a key ingredient in our analysis.
