We present the full descriptive characterizations of the strong McShane integral (or the variational McShane integral) of a Banach space valued function defined on a non-degenerate closed subinterval of in terms of strong absolute continuity or, equivalently, in terms of McShane variational measure generated by the primitive of , where is the family of all closed non-degenerate subintervals of .
Some results are presented, concerning a class of Banach spaces introduced by G. Godefroy and M. Talagrand, the representable Banach spaces. The main aspects considered here are the stability in forming tensor products, and the topological properties of the weak* dual unitball.
We classify, up to isomorphism, the spaces of compact operators (E,F), where E and F are the Banach spaces of all continuous functions defined on the compact spaces , the topological products of Cantor cubes and intervals of ordinal numbers [0,α].
Bessaga and Pełczyński showed that if c₀ embeds in the dual X* of a Banach space X, then ℓ¹ embeds complementably in X, and embeds as a subspace of X*. In this note the Diestel-Faires theorem and techniques of Kalton are used to show that if X is an infinite-dimensional Banach space, Y is an arbitrary Banach space, and c₀ embeds in L(X,Y), then embeds in L(X,Y), and ℓ¹ embeds complementably in . Applications to embeddings of c₀ in various spaces of operators are given.
The structure of the closed linear span of the Rademacher functions in the Cesàro space is investigated. It is shown that every infinite-dimensional subspace of either is isomorphic to l₂ and uncomplemented in , or contains a subspace isomorphic to c₀ and complemented in . The situation is rather different in the p-convexification of if 1 < p < ∞.
Support functionals in Musielak-Orlicz sequence spaces endowed with the Luxemburg norm are completely characterized. An explicit formula for regular support functionals is given. For obtaining a characterization of singular support functionals a generalized Banach limit is applied. Some necessary and sufficient conditions for smooothness of these spaces are given, too.
