Abstract:
For a compact set we construct a restoring covering for the space of real-valued functions on which can be uniformly approximated by harmonic functions. Functions from restricted to an element of this covering possess some analytic properties. In particular, every nonnegative function , equal to 0 on an open non-void set, is equal to 0 on . Moreover, when , the algebra of complex-valued functions on which can be uniformly approximated by holomorphic functions is analytic. These theorems allow us to prove that if a compact set has a nontrivial Jensen measure, then contains a nontrivial compact set with analytic algebra .
