Abstract:

For a uniformly closed vector lattice $V$ of real-valued functions on a set $X$, necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for insertion (or "strict insertion") of some member of $V$ between two arbitrary real-valued functions on $X$. These conditions quickly yield known insertion, approximation, and extension theorems for real-valued functions.
