Abstract

Following [2], a Tychonoff space X is Ascoli if every compact subset of C_k(X) is equicontinuous. By the classical Ascoli theorem every k-space is Ascoli. We show that a strict (LF)-space E is Ascoli iff E is a Fréchet space or E=ϕ. We prove that the strong dual E'_β of a Montel strict (LF)-space E is an Ascoli space iff one of the following assertions holds: (i) E is a Fréchet--Montel space, so E'_β is a sequential non-Fréchet--Urysohn space, or (ii) E=ϕ, so E'_β= ℝ^ω. Consequently, the space D(Ω) of test functions and the space of distributions D'(Ω) are not Ascoli that strengthens results of Shirai [20] and Dudley [5], respectively.
