A counterexample in semimetric spaces.
For a completely regular space X, C(X) and C*(X) denote, respectively, the algebra of all real-valued continuous functions and bounded real-valued continuous functions over X. When X is not a pseudocompact space, i.e., if C*(X) ≠ C(X), theorems about uniform density for subsets of C*(X) are not directly translatable to C(X). In [1], Anderson gives a sufficient condition in order for certain rings of C(X) to be uniformly dense, but this condition is not necessary. In this paper we study...
For a completely regular space X, C*(X) denotes the algebra of all bounded real-valued continuous functions over X. We consider the topology of uniform convergence over C*(X). When K is a compact space, the Stone-Weierstrass and Kakutani-Stone theorems provide necessary and sufficient conditions under which a function f ∈ C*(K) can be uniformly approximated by members of an algebra, lattice or vector lattice of C*(K). In this way, the uniform closure and, in particular, the uniform density...
