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 E°, 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].

In [4] N. Steinmetz used Nevanlinna theory to establish remarkably versatile theorems on the factorization of ordinary differential equations which implied numerous previous results of various authors. (Here factorization is taken in the sense of function composition as introduced by F. Gross in [2].) The thrust of Steinmetz’ central results on factorization is that if g(z) is entire and f(z) is meromorphic in C such that the composite fog satisfies an algebraic differential equation, then so do f(z) and, degenerate cases aside, g(z). In addition, the more one knows about the equation for fog (e.g. degree, weight, autonomy), the more one can conclude about the equations for f and g.In this note we generalize Steinmetz’ work to show the following:a) Steinmetz’ two basic results, Satz 1 and Korollar 1 of [4] can be seen as one-variable specializations of a single two variable result, andb) the function g(z) can itself be allowed to be a function of several variables.

AbstractConsider an algebraic differential equation F = 0 of the first order. A rigorous definition will be given to the classical concept of “particular solutions” of F = 0. By Ritt’s low power theorem we shall prove that a singular solution of F = 0 belongs to the general solution of F if and only if it is a particular solution of F = 0.
