Abstract

We prove that for every normal topological space X and any function f: X → ℝ there is a continuous function g : X → ℝ such that |f(x) - g(x)| ≤ (1)/(2) supp ∈ X infO(p) supa,b ∈ O(p) |f(a) - f(b)| for all x ∈ X. As an application of this result we prove the following statements to types of tightness in a space Qp(X, ℝ) of all quasicontinuous real-valued functions with the topology τp of pointwise convergence: the countability of tightness (fan-tightness, strong fan-tightness) at a point f of space Qp(X, ℝ) implies the countability of tightness (fan-tightness, strong fan-tightness) of space Qp(X,Y) of all quasicontinuous functions from X into any non-one-point metrizable space Y. This result is the answer to the open question in the class of metrizable spaces.
