On the convergence on nonlinear Pad\'e--Chebyshev approximations to the multivalued analytic functions, variation of equilibrium energy and S-property of stationary compacts

Some new results on the convergence of nonlinear diagonal Pad\'e--Chebyshev approximations to multivalued analytic function given on the segment $[-1,1]$, are proved. We show that these approximations converge to the given function in the "maxmimal" domain of its meromorphity and that the boundary of this maxmimal domain is an $S$-curve.
