Abstract: Let $F$ be an ordered topological vector space (over $mathbbR$) whose positive cone $F_{+}$ is weakly closed, and let $EsubseteqF$ be a subspace. We prove that the set of positive continuous linear functionals on $E$ that can be extended (positively and continuously) to $F$ is weak-$\ast$ dense in the topological dual wedge ${E_{+}}^{\prime }$. Furthermore, we show that this result cannot be generalized to arbitrary positive operators, even in finite-dimensional spaces.

Review text

The author considers the set \(\mathcal{R}\) of positive continuous linear functionals a subspace \(E\) of an ordered topological vector space \(F\) which admit positive continuous extensions on the whole of \(E\). This set \(\mathcal{R}\) is shown to be weak*-dense in the poisitive cone of the dual of \(E\). This result cannot be translated to the general operator setting even in finite dimensions.
