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- dense in the topological dual wedge E+. Furthermore, we show that this result cannot be generalized to arbitrary positive operators, even in finite-dimensional spaces.
