Uniform and tangential harmonic approximation of continuous functions on arbitrary sets

Necessary and sufficient conditions which must be imposed on a set E are derived, such that functions continuous on E G can be approximated by functions harmonic in a region G (Rⁿ.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 9, No. 2, pp. 131–142, February, 1971.In conclusion I wish to thank my scientific director S. N. Mergelyan and also A. A. Gonchar for their valuable advice.
