K) < ε. Consider a point x ∈ K. Since {f1, · · · , fn} are continuous, for each i, there exists a neighbourhood Ui of x such that |fi(y) − fi(x)| < ε for all y ∈ Ui. Let U = n i=1 Ui. Since this is a finite intersection, U is open. Then for any f ∈ F , y ∈ U , we can find some i such that f − fiC(K) < ε. So |f (y) − f (x... |

Since A is an algebra, it suffices to show that f ∈ A implies |f | ∈ A for every f such that f CR(K) ≤ 1. The key observation is the following: consider the function h(x) = x + ε2. Then h(x2) approximates |x|. This has... |
