Here $ρ$ is the density of the equilibrium measure and $q\in \mathbb{N}_{>0}$ is the highest order at which $ρ(x)$ approaches $\inf_{I}ρ$ with $x\in I$; for example, if $ρ(x)=1/(π\sqrt{x(1-x)})$, then $q=2$ if $\frac{1}{2}\in \overline{I}$ and $q=1$ otherwise. This work extends a result of Feng and Wei beyond the Gaussian potential. |
