Abstract

Let DD be a closed disk in the complex plane centered at the origin, f,gf, g complex valued continuous function on DD. Let P[f,g;D]P[f,g; D] (res. R[f,g;D])R[f, g; D])) be the uniform closure on DD of polynomials (res. rational functions) in variables ff and gg. In \cite{OS}, using complex dynamical systems, O'Farrell and Sanabria-Garcia proved that {(z2,z1+z):zD}\{\Big(z^2, \cfrac{\overline z}{1+\overline{z}}\Big): z\in D\} is not polynomially convex with DD small enough and so that P[z2,z1+z;D]C(D)P[z^2,\cfrac{\overline z}{1+\overline z}; D]\ne C(D) if DD is sufficient small. In this paper, we first give a certain conditions for rational convexity of union of two compact set of Cn\Bbb C^n and apply to show that R[z2,z1+z;D]=C(D)R[z^2, \cfrac{\overline z}{1+\overline z}; D]= C(D) for all DD small enough
