The paper establishes necessary and sufficient conditions for compactness of operators acting between general K-spaces, general J-spaces and operators acting from a J-space into a K-space. Applications to interpolation of compact operators are also given.
For p ≥ 1, a subset K of a Banach space X is said to be relatively p-compact if , where p’ = p/(p-1) and . An operator T ∈ B(X,Y) is said to be p-compact if T(Ball(X)) is relatively p-compact in Y. Similarly, weak p-compactness may be defined by considering . It is proved that T is (weakly) p-compact if and only if T* factors through a subspace of in a particular manner. The normed operator ideals of p-compact operators and of weakly p-compact operators, arising from these factorizations,...
We provide examples of nonseparable compact spaces with the property that any continuous image which is homeomorphic to a finite product of spaces has a maximal prescribed number of nonseparable factors.
A small perturbation method is developed and employed to construct frames with compactly supported elements of small shrinking support for Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces in the general setting of a doubling metric measure space in the presence of a nonnegative self-adjoint operator whose heat kernel has Gaussian localization and the Markov property. This allows one, in particular, to construct compactly supported frames for Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces on the sphere, on the interval with...
A bounded closed convex set K in a Banach space X is said to have quasi-normal structure if each bounded closed convex subset H of K for which diam(H) > 0 contains a point u for which ∥u-x∥ < diam(H) for each x ∈ H. It is shown that if the convex sets on the unit sphere in X satisfy this condition (which is much weaker than the assumption that convex sets on the unit sphere are separable), then relative to various weak topologies, the unit ball in X is compact whenever it is countably compact....
