Let E be a subset of the boundary of the open unit disc D , and let A be the algebra of bounded holomorphic functions on D that extend continuously to D ∪ E . It is shown that if f is a bounded harmonic function on D that extends continuously to D ∪ E and is not holomorphic, then the uniformly closed algebra A [ f ] generated by A and f contains C ( D ¯ ) . This result contains as special cases a result on the disc algebra due to Čirka and a result on H ∞ ( D due to Axler and Shields. A stronger form of the result, in which f is allowed to have discontinuities on a small subset of E , is also established. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification 46J10, 46J15, 30H05.
