Abstract
We show that if a lower-semicontinuous kernel K satisfies some mild additional hypotheses, then configurations that are asympotitically optimal for the extremal problems defining the Chebyshev constants are precisely those whose counting measures converge to the equilibrium measure for the corresponding minimum energy problem.
