In this paper we obtain two new characterizations of completeness of a normed space through the behaviour of its weakly unconditionally Cauchy series. We also prove that barrelledness of a normed space can be characterized through the behaviour of its weakly- unconditionally Cauchy series in .
We investigate conditions under which the projective and the injective topologies coincide on the tensor product of two Köthe echelon or coechelon spaces. A major tool in the proof is the characterization of the επ-continuity of the tensor product of two diagonal operators from to . Several sharp forms of this result are also included.
Let M₁ and M₂ be N-functions. We establish some combinatorial inequalities and show that the product spaces are uniformly isomorphic to subspaces of L₁ if M₁ and M₂ are “separated” by a function , 1 < r < 2.
There has been a considerable search for radical, amenable Banach algebras. Noncommutative examples were finally found by Volker Runde [R]; here we present the first commutative examples. Centrally placed within the construction, the reader may be pleased to notice a reprise of the undergraduate argument that shows that a normed space with totally bounded unit ball is finite-dimensional; we use the same idea (approximate the norm 1 vector x within distance η by a “good” vector ; then approximate...
We give sufficient and necessary conditions for complex extreme points of the unit ball of Orlicz-Lorentz spaces, as well as we find criteria for the complex rotundity and uniform complex rotundity of these spaces. As an application we show that the set of norm-attaining operators is dense in the space of bounded linear operators from into d(w,1), where is a predual of a complex Lorentz sequence space d(w,1), if and only if wi ∈ c₀∖ℓ₂.
We introduce a method to compute rigorous component-wise enclosures of discrete convolutions using the fast Fourier transform, the properties of Banach algebras, and interval arithmetic. The purpose of this new approach is to improve the implementation and the applicability of computer-assisted proofs performed in weighed Banach algebras of Fourier/Chebyshev sequences, whose norms are known to be numerically unstable. We introduce some application examples, in particular a rigorous aposteriori...
Criteria in order that a Musielak-Orlicz sequence space contains an isomorphic as well as an isomorphically isometric copy of are given. Moreover, it is proved that if , where are defined on a Banach space, does not satisfy the -condition, then the Musielak-Orlicz sequence space of -valued sequences contains an almost isometric copy of . In the case of it is proved also that if contains an isomorphic copy of , then does not satisfy the -condition. These results extend some...
In this paper, some necessary and sufficient conditions for in Musielak-Orlicz function spaces as well as in Musielak-Orlicz sequence spaces are given.
Several properties of weakly p-summable sequences and of the scale of p-converging operators (i.e., operators transforming weakly p-summable sequences into convergent sequences) in projective and natural tensor products with an lp space are considered. The last section studies the Dunford-Pettis property of order p (i.e., every weakly compact operator is p-convergent) in those spaces.
