Minimal size of basic families

Abstract: A family

of continuous real-valued functions on a space

X

is said to be {sl basic} if every

f i n C (X)

can be represented

f = s u m_{i = 1}^{n} g_{i} c i r c p h i_{i}

for some

and

g_{i} i n C (R)

(

i = 1, ..., n

). Define

is a basic family for

. If

X

is separable metrizable

X

then either

X

is locally compact and finite dimensional, and

, or

. If

K

is compact and either

w (K)

(the minimal size of a basis for

K

) has uncountable cofinality or

K

has a discrete subset

D

with

| D | = w (K)

then either

K

is finite dimensional, and

, or

.
