STABILITY OF THE $\bar\partial$-ESTIMATES AND THE MERGELYAN PROPERTY FOR WEAKLY q-CONVEX MANIFOLDS

Let $r\;{\geq}\;q$. We get the stability of the estimates of the $\bar{\partial}$-Neumann problem for (p, r)-forms on a weakly q-convex complex submanifold. As a by-product of the stability of the $\bar{\partial}$-estimates, we get the Mergelyan approximation property for (p, r)-forms on a weakly q-convex complex submanifold which satisfies property (P).
