In the present paper two problems on approximation by rational functions will be treated. The one concerns rational functions whose poles are of any order but lie at two preassigned points. The other problem relates to rational functions which have simple poles only.

As the referee has pointed out to me, the second equation of (6.7) can be deduced from the first one also this way : Replace , observing that g ξ(z) belongs to , and take finally ξ = z.
