Given a compact set \(E\) of the extended complex plane \(\overline\mathbb{C}\), let \(w\) be a nonnegative weight function on \(\overline\mathbb{C}\) with the following properties: \((1)\) \(\log w\) is upper semicontinuous; \((2)\) \(E\) is of positive capacity; \(3)\) \(|z|w(z) \rightarrow \infty\) as \(z \rightarrow \infty\), if \(E\) is unbounded. Let \[ p_{n,w} (z):=\prod_{i=1}^n [(z-z_i)w(z)w(z_i)] \] be a weighted polynomial of degree \(n\). Let \(\mu_{nw}\) be the discrete measure having mass \(\frac 1n\) at each zero of \(p_{nw}\). Let \(\mu_w\) denote the equilibrium measure of \(E\) with respect to the kernel \(\log [|z-\zeta|w(z)w(\zeta)]\). The author studies relations between the weak convergence of \(\{ \mu_{nw}\}\) to \(\mu_w\) and the limit behaviour of the sequence \(\{|p_{nw}|_E\}\) as \(n \rightarrow \infty\). In particular, he gets sufficient conditions for the equation \(\lim_{n\to \infty} \root n \of {|p_{nw}|_E} = cap (w,E)\), where \(cap (w,E)\) is the transfinite diameter of \(E\) with respect to the weighted distance \(|z-\zeta|w(z)w(\zeta)\).
