Approximation on a bidisk (Q1049574)

Let \(\Delta = \{(z,w)\in\mathbb{C}^{2} \mid |z|\leq r, r>0\}\) be a closed bidisk in \(\mathbb{C}^{2}\) centered at the origin and let \(f\), \(g\) be continuous functions on \(\Delta\). The authors prove a sufficient condition on \(f\) and \(g\) so that the algebra generated by \(z^{n_{1}}\), \(f^{n_{2}}\), \(w^{n_{3}}\) and \(g^{n_{4}}\), with \(n_{1}, n_{2}, n_{3}, n_{4} \in \mathbb{N}\), is dense in the space of continuous functions on \(\Delta\), for all bidisks \(\Delta\) close enough to the origin in \(\mathbb{C}^{2}\). The proof follows the same pattern as the algebras on disks.
