Approximation in the complex plane (30E10) Harmonic, subharmonic, superharmonic functions in higher dimensions (31B05) Abstract approximation theory (approximation in normed linear spaces and other abstract spaces) (41A65)

Abstract: The general theme of this note is illustrated by the following theorem: Theorem 1. Suppose $K$ is a compact set in the complex plane and 0 belongs to the boundary $partialK$. Let $calA(K)$ denote the space of all functions $f$ on $K$ such that $f$ is holomorphic in a neighborhood of $K$ and $f(0)=0$. Also for any given positive integer $m$, let $calA(m,K)$ denote the space of all $f$ such that $f$ is holomorphic in a neighborhood of $K$ and $f(0)=f^{prime}(0)=\mathrm{...}=f^{(m)}(0)=0$. Then $calA(m,K)$ is dense in $calA(K)$ under the supremum norm on $K$ provided that there exists a sector $$ such that $WcapK=0$. (This is the well-known Poincare's external cone condition). We present various generalizations of this result in the context of higher dimensions replacing holomorphic with harmonic.

Review text

Let \(L^2(S^n)\) denote the usual Lebesgue space over the unit sphere \(S^n\) with respect to the surface area measure of \(S^n\); \(x_0\) be a fixed point in \(\mathbb{R}^n\). Let \(P(x_0, m)\) denote the space of all harmonic polynomials vanishing at \(x_0\) together with all their derivatives of order less than or equal to \(m\), and \(m> 0\). It is known that \(P(x_0, m)\) is dense in \(L^2(S^n)\) if and only if \(|x_0|\geq 1\). The author addresses the following questions: a) Does the above result remains valid if \(L^2(S^n)\) is replaced by any \(L^p(S^n)\) with \(p> 2\)? b) Could \(S^n\) be replaced by more general surfaces?
