Abstract

Let C(K) denote the Banach space of all (real or complex) continuous functions on a compact Hausdorff space K.

We present a novel point of view on the classical Arzelà-Ascoli theorem: For every pointwise bounded and equicontinuous subset of C(K) there is a continuous mapping J : β → C(K), where β denotes the Stone-Čech compactification of , such that ⊂ J (β); hence the closure of is compact.
