This paper investigates the approximation of continuous functions in real separable Hilbert spaces through polynomial operators in scenarios where only boundedness of the domain is assumed rather than compactness, focusing on the necessary continuity properties of such functions. By establishing the relationship between uniform continuity with respect to the S-topology and the compactness of mappings, key theorems are introduced that facilitate the construction of continuous polynomial approximations to uniformly S-continuous functions on bounded domains. Moreover, the findings address significant applications in system theory and other fields requiring such approximations.
