Strong Carleman and strong uniform approximation (Q792487)

Relations between Carleman approximation and strong Carleman approximation, also between uniform and strong uniform approximation, are developed. For both strong Carleman and strong uniform approximation to f, the closeness of approximation required on E is stipulated by a continuous function \(\epsilon =\epsilon(p).\) With appropriate restrictions in a neighborhood of each of its zeros, the function \(\epsilon\) is allowed isolated zeros on \(E^ 0\) and at some points of \(\partial E\). Whether \(\epsilon\) is allowed to vanish at a specific point of \(\partial E\) depends on the behavior of f near that point. For E a closed set on an open Riemann surface \({\mathfrak R}\) and \(P\subset {\mathfrak R}\backslash E,\) the following are among the equivalent conditions in Theorem 2: (b) Every function f meromorphic on E (\(f\in M(E))\) can be Carleman approximated on E by functions of \(M_{E\cup P}({\mathfrak R})\); (d) Every function f of M(E) can be Carleman approximated on E by functions of \(M_{E\cup P}({\mathfrak R})\) which interpolate f on any pre- assigned f-admissible interpolation subset of E.
