We prove a Korovkin type approximation theorem for positive linear operators on weighted spaces of continuous real-valued functions on a compact Hausdorff space X. These spaces comprise a variety of subspaces of C (X) with suitable locally convex topologies and were introduced by Nachbin 1967 and Prolla 1977. Some early Korovkin type results on the weighted approximation of real-valued functions in one and several variables with a single weight function are due to Gadzhiev 1976 and 1980.
