Universal Padé approximants on simply connected domains

The theory of universal Taylor series can be extended to the case of Padé approximants where the universal approximation is not realized by polynomials any more, but by rational functions, namely the Padé approximants of some power series. We present the first generic result in this direction, for Padé approximants corresponding to Taylor developments of holomorphic functions in simply connected domains. The universal approximation is required only on compact sets $K$ which lie outside the domain of definition and have connected complement. If the sets $K$ are additionally disjoint from the boundary of the domain of definition, then the universal functions can be smooth on the boundary.

On a characterization of Arakelian sets

Let $K$ be a compact set in the complex plane $\C$, such that its complement in the Riemann sphere, $(\C\cup\{\infty\})\sm K$, is connected. Also, let $U\subseteq\C$ be an open set which contains $K$. Then there exists a simply connected open set $V$ such that $K\subseteq V\subseteq U$. We show that if the set $K$ is replaced by a closed set $F$ in $\C$, then the above lemma is equivalent to the fact that $F$ is an Arakelian set in $\C$. This holds more generally, if $\C$ is replaced by any simply connected open set $\OO\subseteq\C$. In the case of an arbitrary open set $\OO\subseteq\C$, the above extends to the one point compactification of $\OO$. As an application we give a simple proof of the fact that the disjoint union of two Arakelian sets in a simply connected open set $\OO$ is also Arakelian in $\OO$.

Generic approximation of functions by their Padé approximants

Generic approximation of entire functions by their Padé approximants has been achieved in the past (\cite{3}). In the present article we obtain generic approximation of holomorphic functions on arbitrary open sets by sequences of their Padé approximants. Similar results hold with functions smooth on the boundary of their domain of definition. In addition, the approximation is valid simultaneously with respect to all centers of expansion.

Generic Approximation of functions by their padé approximants, I

Approximation of entire functions by their padé approximants has been examined in the past. It is true that generically such an approximation holds. However, examining this problem from another viewpoint, we obtain stronger generic results on functions defined on simply connected domains or even open sets of arbitrary connectivity.

Generic Approximation of functions by their padé approximants, II

In \cite{5} we proved that generically functions defined in any open set can be approximated by a sequense of their padé approximants, in the sense of uniform convergence on compacta. In this paper we examine a more particular space, $A^{\infty}(Ω)$, and prove that we can obtain similar approximation results with functions smooth on the boundary.
