Abstract: A result in cite{Ker-Weit} states that a real valued continuous function f on the circle and its nonnegative integral powers can generate a dense translation invariant subspace in the space of all continuous functions on the circle if f has a unique maximum or a unique minimum. In this note we endeavour to show that this is quite a general phenomenon in harmonic analysis.


A recent paper by \textit{R. A. Kerman} and \textit{Y. Weit} [J. Fourier Anal. Appl. 16, No. 5, 786--790 (2010; Zbl 1207.42004)] states that if a continuous real valued function on the unit circle has unique maximum or unique minimum, then the span of translates of its nonnegative integral powers is dense in the space of all continuous functions on the unit circle. Based on the same argument, the authors prove an analogue of this result for the groups of Wiener class (which includes all locally compact abelian groups, compact topological groups, groups of polynomial growth, \(ax+b\) group etc., as well as the group \(\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})\) which is not in the Wiener class and is of exponential growth). The authors also take up Riemannian symmetric spaces of compact and noncompact types.
