Mean Rational Approximation for Some Compact Planar Subsets

Publication date: 10 December 2022

Abstract: In 1991, J. Thomson obtained celebrated structural results for

P^{t} (m u) .

Later, J. Brennan (2008) generalized Thomson's theorem to

R^{t} (K, m u)

when the diameters of the components of

m a t h b b C s e t m i n u s K

are bounded below. The results indicate that if

R^{t} (K, m u)

is pure, then

R^{t} (K, m u) c a p L^{i} n f t y (m u)

is the "same as" the algebra of bounded analytic functions on

m b o x a b p e (R^{t} (K, m u)),

the set of analytic bounded point evaluations. We show that if the diameters of the components of

m a t h b b C s e t m i n u s K

are allowed to tend to zero, then even though

e x t i n t (K) = m b o x a b p e (R^{t} (K, m u))

and

K = o v e r l i n e e x t i n t (K),

the algebra

R^{t} (K, m u) c a p L^{i} n f t y (m u)

may "be equal to" a proper sub-algebra of bounded analytic functions on

e x t i n t (K),

where functions in the sub-algebra are "continuous" on certain portions of the inner boundary of

K .
