Let \(\mathcal L\) denote the set of all plurisubharmonic functions \(u\) on \(\mathbb C^n\) with \(\sup\{u(z)-\log(1+| z|):z\in\mathbb C^n\}<\infty\). For \(E\) a compact subset of \(\mathbb C^n \), define \(V_E(z) = \sup\{u(z): u\in\mathcal L\), \(u \leq 0\) on \(E\}\), \(z\in\mathbb C^n\), and \(\omega_E(\delta) =\sup\{V_E(z): \text{dist} (z,E) \leq \delta\}\). A compact set \(E\) is said to be \(\mathcal L\)-regular if \(\lim_{\delta\to 0}\omega_E(\delta) =0\). Let \(\mathcal R\) be the family of all \(\mathcal L\)-regular polynomially convex compact subsets of \(\mathbb C^n\), and let \(\Gamma\) be the metric on \(\mathcal R\) introduced by \textit{M. Klimek} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 123, No. 9, 2763-2770 (1995)] defined by \(\Gamma(E,F) =\| V_E -V_F\| _{\mathbb C^n}\). In the paper the author considers the following question: given \(E, E_n\in\mathcal R \) satisfying \(\chi(E, E_n) \to 0\), where \(\chi\) denotes the classical Hausdorff metric on compact subsets of \(\mathbb C^n\). Is it true that \(\Gamma(E, E_n)\to 0\)? By a counterexample in the complex plane it is shown that the answer in general is no. On the other hand, the author proves that the convergence \(E_n\to E\) in the sense of the Hausdorff metric \(\chi\) implies the convergence of \(E_n \to E\) in the metric \(\Gamma\) if and only if the functions \(V_{E_n}\) (\(n\geq 1\)) are equicontinuous in \(\mathbb C^n\). The author also characterizes the relatively compact subsets of the metric space \((\mathcal R,\Gamma)\) and gives some examples of such subsets.
