Aug 22, 2012 at 0:41 comment added Yemon Choi @LeBlanc: I meant that the RRT is more general for $C_c(X)$ because it characterizes functionals on a smaller algebra; it is not a priori clear that the functional on $C_c(X)$ extend to functionals on $C_0(X)$ without further assumptions on $X$.

Aug 21, 2012 at 22:55 comment added LeBlanc @Yemon, How can that be? For example, if $X=\mathbb R$, $f(x)=e^{-x^2}$ is an element of $C_0(X)$ but not of $C_c(X)$.

Aug 21, 2012 at 10:43 comment added Igor Khavkine I see. In my understanding, treating $C_0(X)$ is the same as treating $C(\hat{X})$, where $\hat{X}$ is the one-point compactification. So it seems that Rudin only goes as far as treating $C(X)$ for compact $X$.
Aug 21, 2012 at 10:39 comment added Yemon Choi I thought C_c(X) is more general than C_0(X), since it's a subalgebra?

Aug 21, 2012 at 10:08 comment added LeBlanc @Igor Please see edit. Rudin does treat a more general case.

Aug 21, 2012 at 9:58 comment added Igor Khavkine Thanks for looking checking! BTW, I just looked up Halmos, and he also seems to treat only the $C_K(X)$ case.
