Cataloged from PDF version of article.Thesis (M.S.): Bilkent University, Department of Mathematics, İhsan Doğramacı Bilkent University, 2016.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 39-42).In recent years, potential theory has an essential effect on approximation theory and orthogonal polynomials. Basic concepts of the modern theory of general orthogonal polynomials are described in terms of Potential Theory. One of these concepts is the Widom factors which are the ratios of norms of extremal polynomials to a certain degree of capacity of a set. While there is a theory of Widom factors for finite gap case, very little is known for fractal sets, particularly for supports of continuous singular measures. The motivation of our numerical exp...
