Abstract: For $0 < \alpha < 1$ , we characterise those compact sets X in the plane with the property that each function in the class ${\text{lip}}(\alpha ,X)$ that is analytic at all interior points of X is the limit in ${\text{Lip}}(\alpha ,X)$ norm of a sequence of rational functions. The characterisation is in terms of Hausdorff content.
