On a problem of Horváth concerning barrelled spaces of vector valued continuous functions vanishing at infinity (Q1766246)

Let \(\Omega\) be a locally compact space and \(X\) a normed space. \(C_0(\Omega,X)\) denotes the space of all continuous \(X\)-valued functions on \(\Omega\) which vanish at infinity, endowed with the sup-norm. The authors prove that for a normal locally compact space \(\Omega\), \(C_0(\Omega,X)\) is barrelled if and only if \(X\) is barrelled. The normality hypothesis is needed since the proof makes use of (finite) partitions of unity.
