Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to study holomorphic approximation and approximation of \(\overline{\partial }\)-closed forms in complex manifolds of complex dimension \(n\ge 1\). We consider extensions of the classical Runge theorem and the Mergelyan property to domains in complex manifolds for the \({{\mathcal {C}}}^\infty \)-smooth and the \(L^2\) topology. We characterize the Runge or Mergelyan property in terms of certain Dolbeault cohomology groups and some geometric sufficient conditions are given.
