An application of averaging operators to multilinearity.
We prove a fixed point theorem for Borsuk continuous mappings with spherical values, which extends a previous result. We apply some nonstandard properties of the Stiefel-Whitney classes.
Given an operator ideal , we say that a Banach space X has the approximation property with respect to if T belongs to for every Banach space Y and every T ∈ (Y,X), being the topology of uniform convergence on compact sets. We present several characterizations of this type of approximation property. It is shown that some of the existing approximation properties in the literature may be included in this setting.
Let X be a Banach space and let T be a bounded linear operator acting on X. Atkinson's well known theorem says that T is a Fredholm operator if and only if its projection in the algebra L(X)/F₀(X) is invertible, where F₀(X) is the ideal of finite rank operators in the algebra L(X) of bounded linear operators acting on X. In the main result of this paper we establish an Atkinson-type theorem for B-Fredholm operators. More precisely we prove that T is a B-Fredholm operator if and only if its projection...
