Mar 22, 2017 at 22:04 comment added Trevor J Richards Though now I see that you want some control on the speed of convergence, forcing $\epsilon'$ to have a special form. This is a more complicated question than I realized. By the way, I do not see how the condition $Re(q/\widehat{q})>0$ is related to $|q-\widehat{q}|<\epsilon'$. Could you explain that?
Mar 22, 2017 at 22:00 comment added Trevor J Richards Hmmm, this sort of has the flavor of a converse to Runge's theorem: If a sequence of rational functions $\widehat{r_i}$ (in your example these are choices of $\widehat{p}/\widehat{q}$) converges to a meromrophic function $r$ (in your example $p/q$) on a compact set $K$ (in your example the unit circle), and the degree of all of the rational functions $r_i$ are bounded by some number $n$, then the zeros of $r_i$ must converge and the poles of $r_i$ must converge. I will think about it. Have you gotten a solution to the problem you posted yourself yet?
Feb 21, 2016 at 1:36 comment added Alex Wenxin Xu Ah.. yeah, just assume that $p$ and $\hat{p}$ has leading coefficient 1. This should be rather a minor thing though.
Feb 19, 2016 at 21:46 comment added Robert Israel How do these conditions rule out, e.g., the possibility that $\hat{p} = 2 p$ and $\hat{q} = 2 q$?
