We work in C\mathbb{C}. Consider

K={z:z21}{z:z+21}K=\{z:|z-2| \leqslant 1\} \cup\{z:|z+2| \leqslant 1\}

and

Ω={z:z2<3/2}{z:z+2<3/2}\Omega=\{z:|z-2|<3 / 2\} \cup\{z:|z+2|<3 / 2\}

Show that if f:ΩCf: \Omega \rightarrow \mathbb{C} is analytic, then there is a sequence of polynomials pnp_{n} such that pn(z)f(z)p_{n}(z) \rightarrow f(z) uniformly on KK.

Show that there is a sequence of polynomials PnP_{n} such that Pn(z)0P_{n}(z) \rightarrow 0 uniformly for z21|z-2| \leqslant 1 and Pn(z)1P_{n}(z) \rightarrow 1 uniformly for z+21|z+2| \leqslant 1.

Give two disjoint non-empty bounded closed sets K1K_{1} and K2K_{2} such that there does not exist a sequence of polynomials QnQ_{n} with Qn(z)0Q_{n}(z) \rightarrow 0 uniformly on K1K_{1} and Qn(z)1Q_{n}(z) \rightarrow 1 uniformly on K2K_{2}. Justify your answer.
