On c-completely regular frames

Motivated by definitions of countable completely regular spaces and completely below relations of frames, we define what we call a $c$-completely below relation, denoted by $\prec\!\!\prec_c$, in between two elements of a frame. We show that $a\prec\!\!\prec_c b$ for two elements $a, b$ of a frame $L$ if and only if there is $\alpha\in\mathcal{R}L$ such that $\coz\alpha\wedge a=0$ and $\coz(\alpha-{\bf1})\leq b$ where the set $\{r\in\mathbb{R} : \coz(\alpha-{\bf r})\ne 1\}$ is countable. We say a frame $L$ is a $c$-completely regular frame if $a=\bigvee \limits_{x\prec\!\!\prec_ca}x$ for any $a\in L$. It is shown that a frame $L$ is a $c$-completely regular frame if and only if it is a zero-dimensional frame. An ideal $I$ of a frame $L$ is said to be $c$-completely regular if $a\in I$ implies $a\prec\!\!\prec_c b$ for some $b\in I$. The set of all $c$-completely regular ideals of a frame $L$, denoted by ${\mathrm{c-CRegId}}(L)$, is a compact regular frame and it is a compactification for $L$ whenever $it$ is a $c$-completely regular frame. We denote this compactification by $\beta_cL$ and it is isomorphic to the frame $\beta_0L$, that is, Stone-Banaschewski compactification of $L$. Finally, we show that open and closed quotients of a $c$-completely regular frame are $c$-completely regular.
