Abstract
A subset A of a locally convex space E is called (relatively) sequentially complete if every Cauchy sequence \(\left\{ x_{n}\right\} _{n=1}^{\infty }\) in E contained in A converges to a point \(x\in A\) (a point \(x\in E\)). Asanov and Velichko proved that if X is countably compact, every functionally bounded set in \(C_{p}\left( X\right) \) is relatively compact, and Baturov showed that if X is a Lindelöf \(\Sigma \)-space, each countably compact (so functionally bounded) set in \( C_{p}\left( X\right) \) is a monolithic compact. We show that if X is a Lindelöf \(\Sigma \)-space, every functionally bounded (relatively) sequentially complete set in \(C_{p}\left( X\right) \) or in \(C_{w}\left( X\right) \), i. e., in \(C_{k}\left( X\right) \) equipped with the weak topology, is (relatively) Gul’ko compact. We get some consequences.
