# $$f$$ -algebras with a $$\sigma$$ -bounded approximate unit

$$f$$ -algebras with a $$\sigma$$ -bounded approximate unit Let $$X$$ be a lattice ordered algebra ( $$\ell$$ -algebra). A positive element $$x\in$$ $$X$$ is said to be totally bounded if $$x^{2}\le x$$ . The $$\ell$$ -algebra $$X$$ is said to have a $$\sigma$$ -bounded approximate unit if for each positive linear functional $$f$$ on $$X$$ the set $$\left\{ f(x)\text{: } x \text{ totally } \text{ bounded }\right\}$$ is bounded in $$\mathbb R$$ . In this paper we study the class of $$f$$ -algebras with a $$\sigma$$ -bounded approximate unit which contains the class of all unital $$f$$ -algebras. In particular It is shown that an $$f$$ -algebra $$X$$ has a $$\sigma$$ -bounded approximate unit if and only if the order bidual $$X^{\sim \sim }$$ is a unital $$f$$ -algebra. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Positivity Springer Journals
