Discontinuous extensions and almost resolvability (Q2568657)

A space is a d.e.p.(discontinuous extension property) space if each real-valued continuous function on a \(G_{\delta}\)-set \(G\subset X\) has a discontinuous extension to \(X\), i.e., an extension which is continuous at the points of \(G\) and discontinuous at the points of \(X\setminus G\). Each d.e.p. space is almost resolvable. In this paper it is shown that if a space \(X\) is almost resolvable and separated sets can be separated by open sets, then \(X\) is a d.e.p. space. Thus, a \(G_{\delta}\)-space is a d.e.p. space if and only it it is almost resolvable and normal.
