A note on approximation of plurisubharmonic functions (1609.04610v1)

Abstract: We extend a recent result of Avelin, Hed, and Persson about approximation of functions $u$ that are plurisubharmonic on a domain $\Omega$ and continuous on $\bar\Omega$, with functions that are plurisubharmonic on (shrinking) neighborhoods of $\bar\Omega$. We show that such approximation is possible if the boundary of $\Omega$ is $C^0$ outside a countable exceptional set $E\subset\partial \Omega$. In particular, approximation is possible on the Hartogs triangle. For H\"older continuous $u$, approximation is possible under less restrictive conditions on $E$. We next give examples of domains where this kind of approximation is not possible, even when approximation in the H\"older continuous case is possible.
