1. In this paper, X will always denote a locally compact Hausdorff space, C0(X) the algebra of all complex-valued continuous functions vanishing at infinity on X and B(X) the algebra of all bounded continuous complex-valued functions defined on X. If X is compact, C0(X) is identical to B (X) and all the results of this paper are obvious. Therefore, we will assume at the outset that X is not compact. If A represents an algebra of functions, AR will denote the algebra of all real-valued functions in A.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
