Models for the Speiser class

The Eremenko-Lyubich class consists of transcendental entire functions with bounded singular set and the Speiser class is made up of functions with a finite singular set. In an earlier paper "Models for the Eremenko-Lyubich class" I gave a method for constructing Eremenko-Lyubich functions that approximate certain simpler functions called models. In this paper, I show that all such models can be approximated in a weaker sense by Speiser class functions, and that the stronger approximation possible using Eemenko-Lyubich functions can fail for the Speiser class. In particular, I give geometric restrictions on the geometry of a Speiser class function that need not be satisfied by general Eremenko-Lyubich functions.
