PM-normality and the insertion of a continuous function

Ernest Paul Lane

Vol. 82 (1979), No. 1, 155–162
Abstract

Spaces in which each regular closed subset is an intersection of a sequence of closed neighborhoods are investigated. This property is shown to be equivalent to each of the following: Each regular closed subset is a zero set of a continuous function. Each normal lower semicontinuous function defined on the space is a limit of an increasing sequence of continuous functions. The space satisfies the strong C insertion property for normal semicontinuous functions. Separation properties of X × I, which are weaker than normality, are related to the insertion of a continuous function between two comparable functions defined on X.
