Abstract

Let X be a Hausdorff topological space. We consider various locally convex spaces of continuous real valued functions on X and give necessary and sufficient conditions in order that (i) they contain an absolutely convex weakly compact total subset and (ii) they contain an absolutely convex total subset which is an Eberlein compact, when given the weak topology.
