We investigate the set of uniform limits of polynomials on any closed Jordan domain with respect to the chordal metric $\chi$ on $\mathbb{C}\cup\{\infty \}$. We conclude that Mergelyan's Theorem may be extended to the case of uniform…

Let $E$ be an arbitrary subset of the unit circle $T$ and let $f$ be a function defined on $E$. When there exist polynomials $P_n$ which are uniformly bounded by a number $M > 0$ on $T$ and converge (pointwise) to $f$ at each point of $E$?…
