Synopsis

In this paper we prove that every precompact subset in any (LF)-space has a metrizable completion. As a consequence every (LF)-space is angelic and in this way the answer to a question posed by K. Floret [3] is given. Some contributions to the general problem of regularity in inductive limits posed by K. Floret [3] are also given. Particularly, extensions of well-known results of H. Neuss and M. Valdivia are provided in the general setting of (LF)-spaces. It should also be noted that our results hold for inductive limits of an increasing sequence of metrizable spaces.
