Let f be meromorphic on the compact set E ⊂ C with maximal Green domain of meromorphy $E_{\rho \left(f\right)}$, ρ(f) < ∞. We investigate rational approximants $r_{n,mₙ}$ of f on E with numerator degree ≤ n and denominator degree ≤ mₙ. We show that a geometric convergence rate of order $\rho {\left(f\right)}^{-n}$ on E implies uniform maximal convergence in m₁-measure inside $E_{\rho \left(f\right)}$ if mₙ = o(n/log n) as n → ∞. If mₙ = o(n), n → ∞, then maximal convergence in capacity inside $E_{\rho \left(f\right)}$ can be proved at least for a subsequence Λ ⊂ ℕ. Moreover, an analogue of Walsh’s...
