Abstract

Consider the problem, usually called the Pólya-Chebotarev problem, of finding a continuum in the complex plane including some given points such that the logarithmic capacity of this continuum is minimal. We prove that each connected inverse image T-1n([-1,1]) of a polynomial Tn is always the solution of a certain Pólya-Chebotarev problem. By solving a nonlinear system of equations for the zeros of T2n, we are able to construct polynomials Tn with a connected inverse image.
