We prove that for an arbitrary real rational function r of degree n , a measure of the set $$\{x\in \mathbb{R}: |r'(x)/r(x)|\ge n\}$$ { x ∈ R : | r ′ ( x ) / r ( x ) | ≥ n } is at most $$2\pi\Theta$$ 2 π Θ ( $$\Theta\approx 1.347$$ Θ ≈ 1.347 is the weak $$(1,1)$$ ( 1 , 1 ) -norm of the Hilbert transform), and this bound is extremal. A problem of rational approximations on the whole real line is also considered.
