\section{Continuous Functions Vanishing at Infinity}
\label{section:vanish-at-infinity}
\begin{definition}[Vanish at Infinity]
\label{definition:vanish-at-infinity}
Let $X$ be a topological space, $E$ be a TVS over $K \in \RC$, and $f \in C(X; E)$, then $f$ \textbf{vanishes at infinity} if for every $U \in \cn_E^o(0)$, $\bracs{f \not\in U}$ is compact.
The set $C_0(X; \complex)$ is the space of all functions that vanish at infinity.
\end{definition}
\begin{proposition}
\label{proposition:c0-properties}
Let $X$ be a topological space and $E$ be a TVS over $K \in \RC$, then:
\begin{enumerate}
\item $C_0(X; E) \subset BC(X; E)$.
\item $C_0(X; E)$ is a closed subspace of $BC(X; E)$ with respect to the uniform topology.
\item If $X$ is a LCH space, then $C_c(X; E)$ is a dense subspace of $C_0(X; E)$ with respect to the uniform topology.
\end{enumerate}
\end{proposition}
\begin{proof}
(1): Let $U \in \cn_E^o(0)$ be balanced, then $f(X) = \bracs{f \in U} \sqcup \bracs{f \not\in U}$. Since $f(\bracs{f \not\in U})$ is compact, there exists $\lambda > 0$ such that $f(\bracs{f \not\in U}) \subset \lambda U$. In which case, $f(X) \subset (1 \vee \lambda)(U)$.
(2): Let $f \in \ol{C_0(X; E)}$ and $U \in \cn_E^o(0)$, then there exists $V \in \cn_E^o(0)$ balanced such that $V + V \subset U$.
Let $g \in C_0(X; E)$ such that $(f - g)(X) \subset V$. Since $g \in C_0(X; E)$, $\bracs{g \not\in V}$ is compact, so
\[
f(\bracs{g \in V}) \subset (f - g)(X) + g(\bracs{g \in V}) \subset V + V = U
\]
Thus $\bracs{f \not\in U}$ is a closed subset of $\bracs{g \not\in V}$, which is compact by \autoref{proposition:compact-extensions}.
\end{proof}
