Abstract: For "Riesz-like" kernels $K(x,y)=f(|x-y|)$ on $AimesA$, where $A$ is a compact $d$-regular set $Asubsetmathbb{R}^p$, we prove a minimum principle for potentials $U_K^{m}u=intK(x,y)dmu(x)$, where $mu$ is a Borel measure supported on $A$. Setting $P_K(mu)=in{f}_{yinA}{U}^{m}u(y)$, the $K$-polarization of $mu$, the principle is used to show that if $u_N$ is a sequence of measures on $A$ that converges in the weak-star sense to the measure $u$, then $P_K(u_N)o{P}_K(u)$ as $Noinfty$. The continuous Chebyshev (polarization) problem concerns maximizing $P_K(mu)$ over all probability measures $mu$ supported on $A$, while the $N$-point discrete Chebyshev problem maximizes $P_K(mu)$ only over normalized counting measures for $N$-point multisets on $A$. We prove for such kernels and sets $A$, that if $u_N$ is a sequence of $N$-point measures solving the discrete problem, then every weak-star limit measure of $u_N$ as $Noinfty$ is a solution to the continuous problem.
