Some results on the rational Bernstein Markov property in the complex plane

The Bernstein Markov Property, shortly BMP, is an asymptotic quan- titative assumption on the growth of uniform norms of polynomials or rational functions on a compact set with respect to L {\mu} 2 -norms, where {\mu} is a positive finite measure. We consider two variants of BMP for rational functions with restricted poles and compare them with the polynomial BMP finding out some sufficient condi- tions for the latter to imply the former. Moreover, we recover a sufficient mass- density condition for a measure to satisfy the rational BMP on its support.
