-spaces and -spaces
This paper introduces the following definition: a closed subspace Z of a Banach space E is pseudocomplemented in E if for every linear continuous operator u from Z to Z there is a linear continuous extension ū of u from E to E. For instance, every subspace complemented in E is pseudocomplemented in E. First, the pseudocomplemented hilbertian subspaces of are characterized and, in with p in [1, + ∞[, classes of closed subspaces in which the notions of complementation and pseudocomplementation...
