In this paper, X denotes a Hausdorff paracompact locally compact space, E a Hausdorff locally convex space over K, the field of real or complex numbers (we call the elements of K scalars), a filtering upwards family of semi-norms on E generating the topology of E, Cb(X) the space of all continuous scalar-valued funcions on X, and Cb(X, E) the space of all continuous, bounded E-valued functions.
