We find necessary and sufficient conditions under which the norms of the interpolation spaces ${(N₀,N₁)}_{\theta ,q}$ and ${(X₀,X₁)}_{\theta ,q}$ are equivalent on N, where N is the kernel of a nonzero functional ψ ∈ (X₀ ∩ X₁)* and $N_i$ is the normed space N with the norm inherited from $X_i$ (i = 0,1). Our proof is based on reducing the problem to its partial case studied by Ivanov and Kalton, where ψ is bounded on one of the endpoint spaces. As an application we completely resolve the problem of when the range of the operator $T_{\theta }=S-2^{\theta }I$ (S denotes the...
