Abstract
We continue the study in [1] in the setting of pluripotential theory arising from polynomials associated to a convex body C in (ℝ+)d. Here we discuss C-Robin functions and their applications. In the particular case where C is a triangle in (ℝ+)2 with vertices (0, 0), (b, 0), (0, a), a, b > 0, we generalize results of T. Bloom to construct families of polynomials which recover the C-extremal function VC,K of a nonpluripolar compact set K ⊂ ℂ2.
