Let ƒ b e a mapping defined on a compact subset K of the finite complex plane C and taking its values on the extended plane C ⋃ ﹛ ∞﹜. For x a metric on the extended plane, we consider the possibility of approximating ƒ x-uniformly on K by rational functions. Since all metrics on C ⋃ ﹛oo ﹜ are equivalent, we shall consider that x is the chordal metric on the Riemann sphere of diameter one resting on a finite plane at the origin.
