A class of functions the typical property of which is that they can be uniformly approximated on the whole real axis by generalized trigonometric polynomials of the form

where are arbitrary integers, while are given real numbers. This class of functions contains the class of continuous -periodic functions and is contained in the class of Bohr almost-periodic functions. P. Bohl specified several necessary and sufficient conditions for a function to be almost-periodic. In particular, any function of the type

where each one of the functions is continuous and periodic (with possibly different periods), is a Bohl almost-periodic function.
