Abstract
Let E be a non-archimedean normed space over a non-archimedean valued field F. We establish a formula for the distance d(f,W) between a function f ∈ C(X;E), where X is a compact Hausdorff space, and a vector subspace W⊂ C(X;E) which is a module over a subalgebra A ⊂ C(X;F). As a corollary we obtain several approximation results and a non-archimedean analogue of Bishop’s generalization of the Stone-Weierstrass Theorem.
