Computing Fekete and Lebesgue points: Simplex, square, disk

We have computed point sets with maximal absolute value of the Vandermonde determinant (Fekete points) or minimal Lebesgue constant (Lebesgue points) on three basic bidimensional compact sets: the simplex, the square, and the disk. Using routines of the Matlab Optimization Toolbox, we have obtained some of the best bivariate interpolation sets known so far.
