Asymptotics for Lp extremal polynomials on the unit circle

Let p > 1, and dμ a positive finite Borel measure on the unit circle Γ: = {z ε C: ¦z¦ = 1}. Define the monic polynomial φ_{n, p}(z)=zⁿ+…εP_n >(the set of polynomials of degree at most n) satisfying

. Under certain conditions on dμ, the asymptotics of φ_{n, p}(z) for z outside, on, or inside Γ are obtained (cf. Theorems 2.2 and 2.4). Zero distributions of φ_{n, p} are also discussed (cf. Theorems 3.1 and 3.2).
