Approximation of Subharmonic Functions in the Half-Plane by the Logarithm of the Modulus of an Analytic Function

We approximate subharmonic functions defined in the open half-plane in the uniform metric outside the exceptional set by the logarithm of the modulus of an analytic (in the half-plane) function for the cases of a finite order and of an infinite lower order. We also obtain an estimate for the size of the exceptional set. It is shown that, in the case of a finite order, the obtained accuracy of the approximation cannot be essentially improved.
