In this paper we modify a construction due to J. Taskinen to get a Fréchet space F which satisfies the density condition such that the complete injective tensor product l2 x~eF'b does not satisfy the strong dual density condition of Bierstedt and Bonet. In this way a question that remained open in Heinrichs (1997) is solved.
Given a Banach space X and a subspace Y, the pair (X,Y) is said to have the approximation property (AP) provided there is a net of finite rank bounded linear operators on X all of which leave the subspace Y invariant such that the net converges uniformly on compact subsets of X to the identity operator. In particular, if the pair (X,Y) has the AP then X, Y, and the quotient space X/Y have the classical Grothendieck AP. The main result is an easy to apply dual formulation of this property.

A Banach space is said to be L-embedded if it is complemented in its bidual in such a way that the norm between the two complementary subspaces is additive. We prove that the dual of a non-reflexive L-embedded Banach space contains isometrically.
The dual of the James tree space is asymptotically uniformly convex.
In the paper, we show that the space of functions of bounded variation and the space of regulated functions are, in some sense, the dual space of each other, involving the Henstock-Kurzweil-Stieltjes integral.
The Dunford-Pettis property and the Gelfand-Phillips property are studied in the context of spaces of operators. The idea of L-sets is used to give a dual characterization of the Dunford-Pettis property.
Results of Emmanuele and Drewnowski are used to study the containment of c₀ in the space , as well as the complementation of the space of w*-w compact operators in the space of w*-w operators from X* to Y.
Let Φ be an N-function, then the Jung constants of the Orlicz function spaces LΦ[0,1] generated by Φ equipped with the Luxemburg and Orlicz norms have the exact value:(i) If FΦ(t) = tφ(t)/Φ(t) is decreasing and 1 < CΦ < 2, then JC(L(Φ)[0,1]) = JC(LΦ[0,1]) = 21/CΦ-1;(ii) If FΦ(t) is increasing and CΦ > 2, then JC(L(Φ)[0,1]) = JC(LΦ[0,1])=2-1/CΦ,where CΦ= limt→+∞ tφ(t)/Φ(t).
