Abstract

Let Ω\Omega be a bounded domain in C\mathbb{C} such that Ω\partial \Omega does not contain isolated points. Let R(Ω)R(\Omega) be the space of uniform limits on Ω\overline{\Omega} of rational functions with poles off Ω\overline{\Omega}, endowed with the supremum norm. We prove that either generically all functions ff in R(Ω)R(\Omega) satisfy % lim supzz0zΩf(z)f(z0)zz0=+ \limsup_{\substack{z \to z_0 z \in \partial \Omega}} \Big| \frac{f(z) - f(z_0)}{z - z_0} \Big| = + \infty for every z0Ωz_0 \in \partial \Omega or no such function in R(Ω)R(\Omega) meets this requirement. In the first case, the generic function fR(Ω)f \in R(\Omega) is nowhere differentiable on Ω\partial \Omega with respect to the position. We give specific examples where each case of the previous dichotomy holds. We also extend the previous result to unbounded domains.
