We show that a bounded linear operator S on the weighted Bergman space A¹(ψ) is compact and the predual space A₀(φ) of A¹(ψ) is invariant under S* if and only if $S{k}_z\to 0$ as z → ∂D, where $k_z$ is the normalized reproducing kernel of A¹(ψ). As an application, we give conditions for an operator in the Toeplitz algebra to be compact.

For p ≥ 1, a subset K of a Banach space X is said to be relatively p-compact if $K\subset {\sum }_{n=1}^{\infty }\alpha ₙxₙ:\alpha ₙ\in Ball\left(l_{p^{\text{'}}}\right)$, where p’ = p/(p-1) and $xₙ\in l_p^s\left(X\right)$. 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 $xₙ\in l_p^w\left(X\right)$. It is proved that T is (weakly) p-compact if and only if T* factors through a subspace of $l_p$ in a particular manner. The normed operator ideals $(K_p,{\kappa }_p)$ of p-compact operators and $(W_p,{\omega }_p)$ of weakly p-compact operators, arising from these factorizations,...

The definition of n-width of a bounded subset A in a normed linear space X is based on the existence of n-dimensional subspaces. Although the concept of an n-dimensional subspace is not available for metric trees, in this paper, using the properties of convex and compact subsets, we present a notion of n-widths for a metric tree, called Tn-widths. Later we discuss properties of Tn-widths, and show that the compact width is attained. A relationship between the compact widths and Tn-widths is also...

We prove criteria for relative compactness in the space of set-valued measures whose values are compact convex sets in a Banach space, and we generalize to set-valued measures the famous theorem of Dieudonné on convergence of real non-negative regular measures.

Various topics concerning compact elementary operators on Banach algebras are studied: their ranges, their coefficients, and the structure of algebras having nontrivial compact elementary operators. In the first part of the paper we consider separately elementary operators of certain simple types. In the second part we obtain our main results which deal with general elementary operators.

In this note we present a result on compactness in certain Banach spaces of vector valued functions. We demonstrate an application of this result to the questions of existence of solutions of nonlinear differential inclusions on a Banach space.

For a polish space M and a Banach space E let B1 (M, E) be the space of first Baire class functions from M to E, endowed with the pointwise weak topology. We study the compact subsets of B1 (M, E) and show that the fundamental results proved by Rosenthal, Bourgain, Fremlin, Talagrand and Godefroy, in case E = R, also hold true in the general case. For instance: a subset of B1 (M, E) is compact iff it is sequentially (resp. countably) compact, the convex hull of a compact bounded subset of B1 (M,...

We characterize compact composition operators acting on weighted Bergman-Orlicz spaces ${}_{\alpha }^{\psi }=f\in H\left(\right):{\int }_{}\psi \left(\right|f\left(z\right)\left|\right)d{A}_{\alpha }\left(z\right)<\infty$, where α > -1 and ψ is a strictly increasing, subadditive convex function defined on [0,∞) and satisfying ψ(0) = 0, the growth condition $li{m}_{t\to \infty }\psi \left(t\right)/t=\infty$ and the Δ₂-condition. In fact, we prove that $C_{\phi }$ is compact on ${}_{\alpha }^{\psi }$ if and only if it is compact on the weighted Bergman space ${²}_{\alpha }$.
