Computation of power law equilibrium measures on balls of arbitrary dimension (Q6095996)

The authors discuss the computation of equilibrium measures with power law kernels on ball domains of arbitrary dimension by means of a banded and approximately banded spectral method. At first an overview on power law equilibrium measures, Jacobi polynomials, sparse spectral methods, the fractional Laplacian of radial functions, and Riesz and power law potentials on balls are given. An explicit representation and recurrence relationships for power law integrals of radial Jacobi polynomials on \(d\) dimensional balls are presented and proved. It is explained how these results can be applied for solving equilibrium measure problems numerically. Numerical experiments are presented. Hereby, the obtained solutions are compared with analytic results and other numerical approaches.
