Abstract

Let $ { \mathcal{R}} L$ be the ring of real-valued continuous functions on a frame $L$ as the pointfree  version of $C(X)$, the ring of all real-valued continuous functions on a topological space $X$. Since $C_c(X)$ is the largest subring of $C(X)$ whose elements have countable image, this motivates us to present the pointfree  version of $C_c(X).$
The main aim of this paper is to present the pointfree version of image of real-valued continuous functions in $ {\mathcal{R}} L$. In particular, we will introduce the pointfree version of the ring $C_c(X)$. We define a relation from $ {\mathcal{R}} L$ into the power set of $\mathbb R$, namely overlap. Fundamental properties of this relation are studied. The relation overlap is a pointfree version of the relation defined as $\mathop{\hbox{Im}} (f) \subseteq S$ for every continuous function $f:X\rightarrow\mathbb R$ and $ S \subseteq \mathbb R$.
