Abstract
Let be an ordered topological vector space (over ) whose positive cone is weakly closed, and let be a subspace. We prove that the set of positive continuous linear functionals on that can be extended (positively and continuously) to is weak- dense in the topological dual wedge . Furthermore, we show that this result cannot be generalized to arbitrary positive operators, even in finite-dimensional spaces.
