On $L_{\mathbb R}^2$-best rational approximants to Markov functions on several intervals

Abstract: Let $ f(z)=\int(z-x)^{-1}d\mu(x) $, where $ \mu $ is a Borel measure supported on several subintervals of $ (-1,1) $ with smooth Radon-Nikodym derivative. We study strong asymptotic behavior of the error of approximation $ (f-r_n)(z) $, where $ r_n(z) $ is the $ L_{\mathbb R}^2$-best rational approximant to $ f(z) $ on the unit circle with $ n $ poles inside the unit disk.
