Are there any references for that explains what a balayage of a measure is for people who are not already familiar with the concept? The reference I have found is Logarithmic Potentials with external fields from Saff and Totik but there its properties are stated and not really given the intuition behind the concept with a simple example.
Does anyone have a good reference for me?
Thanks in advance.
There is a book 'Foundations of Modern Potential Theory' by N. S. Landkof (translated from Russian by A. P. Doohovskoy).
There you may find better motivation and explanation.
