G. R. Allan and A. M. Sinclair proved in [1] that if a commutative radical Banach algebra possesses bounded approximate identities then for every sequence (αn) of real numbers such that limn→∞αn = 0 there exists such that

In the other direction it is shown in [6] that if is separable and if the nilpotents are dense in then for every sequence (βn) of positive reals there exists such that

(This result was given in [2] for the Volterra algebra.)
