A constructive look at the completeness of the space (ℝ)

Abstract We show, within the framework of Bishop's constructive mathematics, that (sequential) completeness of the locally convex space (ℝ) of test functions is equivalent to the principle BD-ℕ which holds in classical mathemtatics, Brouwer's intuitionism and Markov's constructive recursive mathematics, but does not hold in Bishop's constructivism.
