For a closed and bounded set E in the complex plane, let A(E) denote the collection of all functions continuous on E and analytic on , its interior; let R(E) denote the collection of all functions which are uniform limits on E of rational functions with poles outside E. Then let A denote the collection of all closed, bounded sets for which A(E) = R(E). The purpose of this paper is to formulate a condition on a set, which is essentially of a geometric nature, in order that the set belong to A. Then using approximation techniques, we shall construct a meromorphic function having a certain boundary behavior on a perfect set; this answers a question raised in [1].
