Abstract: In this paper we investigate the following existence problem for rational functions: for a given collection $Pi$ of partitions of a number $n$ to define whether there exists a rational function $f$ of degree $n$ for which $Pi$ is the branch datum. An important particular case when the answer to this problem is known is the one when the collection $Pi$ contains a partition consisting of a single element (in this case the corresponding rational function is equivalent to a polynomial). In this paper we provide a solution in the case when $Pi$ contains a partition consisting of two elements.
