Several equivalent conditions are given for the existence of real-valued Baire functions of all classes on a type of K-analytic spaces, called disjoint analytic spaces, and on all pseudocompact spaces. The sequential stability index for the Banach space of bounded continuous real-valued functions on these spaces is shown to be either 0,1, or Ω (the first uncountable ordinal). In contrast, the space of bounded real-valued Baire functions of class 1 is shown to contain closed linear subspaces with index α for each countable ordinal α. The sequential stability index for linear subspaces of continuous real-valued functions on a compact space is shown to be invariant under isomorphic embeddings in the space of continuous real-valued functions on any compact space.

On donne quelques conditions pour l’existence de fonctions réelles de Baire de toutes les classes sur certains espaces K-analytiques (appelés espaces analytiques disjoints) et sur tous les espaces pseudo-compacts. On montre que l’indice de stabilité séquentielle de l’espace de Banach des fonctions réelles bornées et continues est égal à 0,1 ou Ω (= premier ordinal non dénombrable) sur ces espaces. Au contraire, on montre que l’espace des fonctions de Baire réelles bornées de la première classe contient des sous-espaces linéaires fermés de l’indice α pour tous les ordinaux dénombrables α. On montre que l’indice de stabilité séquentielle des sous-espaces linéaires des fonctions réelles continues sur un compact reste invariant par rapport à l’immersion isomorphique dans l’espace des fonctions réelles continues sur un compact quelconque.
