The polynomial form of Runge theorem says that if is compact, is connected, and is holomorphic on a neighbourhood of , then for every there is a polynomial such that
Statement (i) is false. Take the entire function . It is bounded on the closed first quadrant . If polynomials converged uniformly to on , then each sufficiently late would be bounded on the positive real axis. A polynomial bounded on that ray must be constant. No sequence of constants converges uniformly to on , since its values at zero and near infinity differ by one.
