Abstract: Following Frink's characterization of completely regular spaces, we say that a regular T_1-space is an RC-space whenever the family of all regular open sets constitutes a regular normal base. Normal spaces are RC-spaces and there exist completely regular spaces which are not RC-spaces. So the question arises, which of the known examples of completely regular and not normal spaces are RC-spaces. We show that the Niemytzki plane and the Sorgenfrey plane are RC-spaces.


This paper deals with the characterization of RC-spaces and their relation to completely regular spaces. By using Frink's characterization of completely regular spaces, authors deduce that every RC-space is a completely regular space and show that there are some examples of completely regular spaces which are not RC-spaces. Furthermore, the authors provide two explicit examples including the Niemytzki Plane and the Sorgenfrey Plane which are completely regular and not normal spaces but are RC-spaces.
