In 1953 P. P. Korovkin proved that if (Tn) is a sequence of positive linear operators defined on the space C of continuous real 2π-periodic functions and limn→rTnf = f uniformly for f = 1, cos and sin. then limn→rTnf = f uniformly for all f∈C. We extend this result to spaces of continuous functions defined on a locally compact abelian group G, with the test family {1, cos, sin} replaced by a set of generators of the character group of G.
