Density of linear span of idempotents in $L^{\infty}$

269 Views Asked by At

How do I show that the linear span of idempotents is dense in $L^{\infty}(\Omega,\mu)$ where $(\Omega,\mu)$ is a measure space? I don't really have any idea how to do this. Does it involve approximating some other class that is dense, say the simple functions?

The simple functions are precisely the linear span of the idempotents.
