Bohl almost-periodic functions

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

$$\sum a_{n_1\cdots n_k}e^{i(n_1\alpha_1+\dotsb+n_k\alpha_k)x},$$

where $n_1,\dotsc,n_k$ are arbitrary integers, while $\alpha_1,\dotsc,\alpha_k$ are given real numbers. This class of functions contains the class of continuous $2\pi$-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

$$f(x)=f_1(x)+\dotsb+f_k(x),$$

where each one of the functions $f_1(x),\dotsc,f_k(x)$ is continuous and periodic (with possibly different periods), is a Bohl almost-periodic function.
