 Prescribed zeros in a plane domain via Runge approximation

Every closed discrete subset of a plane domain is the zero set of a holomorphic function, with assigned finite positive multiplicities if desired. Exhaust the domain by relatively filled compact sets. For a prescribed point outside an earlier compact, choose a rational factor with that zero and its possible pole outside the domain in the same complementary component. A slit joining zero and pole allows a holomorphic logarithm near the earlier compact. Approximate that logarithm by Runge theorem and multiply the rational factor by the negative exponential of the approximant. The resulting factors tend to one with summable errors on each compact. Their infinite product has the prescribed zeros and no additional zeros.
