Two areas of approximation theory are reviewed which utilize potential theory: (1) The equilibrium measures \(\mu_Q\) in an external field \(Q(x)\) give information about the approximability of functions \(f\) by polynomials \(\exp(-nQ(x))P_n(x)\) of degree \(n\) where the weight \(\exp(-nQ(x))\) varies with \(n\). A necessary condition: If \(f\) is approximable by such weighted polynomials then \(f\) must vanish outside the support of \(\mu_Q\). (2) Let \(T_N\) be a real polynomial of degree \(N\) with \(N-1\) alternating minima and maxima that are \(\leq -1\) resp. \(\geq 1\). Then the set \(T_N^{-1}[-1,1]\) is called a polynomial inverse image of \([-1,1]\). It consists of \(l\) intervals, where \(1 \leq l \leq N\). Polynomial inverse images provide a powerful tool to transfer results from the interval \([-1,1]\) to general compact subsets of the real line. Most useful is the fact, that the equilibrium measure, i.e., the arcsine distribution on \([-1,1]\), is preserved under polynomial inverse images. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1064.00004].
