Representation theorems for additive functional have been obtained in [2, 4; 6-8; 10-13]. Our aim in this paper is to study the representation of additive operators.Let S be a compact Hausdorff space and let C(S) be the space of real-valued continuous functions defined on S. Let X be an arbitrary Banach space and let T be an additive operator (see § 2) mapping C(S) into X. We will show (see Lemma 3.4) that additive operators may be represented in terms of a family of “measures” {μh} which take their values in X**. If X is weakly sequentially complete, then {μh} can be shown to take their values in X and are vector-valued measures (i.e., countably additive in the norm) (see Lemma 3.7). And, if X* is separable in the weak-* topology, T may be represented in terms of a kernel representation satisfying the Carathéordory conditions (see [9; 11; §4]):

AbstractA well known result due to Dixmier and Grothendieck for spaces of continuous scalar-valued functions C(X), X compact Hausdorff, is that C(X) is a Banach dual if, and only if, Xis hyperstonean. Moreover, for hyperstonean X, the predual of C(X) is strongly unique. Here we obtain a formulation of this result for spaces of continuous vector-valued functions. It is shown that if E is a Hilbert space and C(X, (E, σ *) ) denotes the space of continuous functions on X to E when E is provided with its weak * ( = weak) topology, then C(X, (E, σ *) ) is a Banach dual if, and only if, X is hyperstonean. Moreover, for hyperstonean X, the predual of C(X, (E, σ *) ) is strongly unique.

AbstractA. Grothendieck has shown that if the space C(X) is a Banach dual then X is hyperstonean; moreover, the predual of C(X) is strongly unique. In this article we give a vector analogue of Grothendieck's result. We show that if E* is a reflexive Banach space and C(X, (E*, σ*)) denotes the space of continuous functions on X to E* when E* is provided with its weak* (= weak) topology then the full content of Grothendieck's theorem for C(X) can be established for C(X,(E*,σ*)). This improves a result previously obtained for the case in which E* is Hilbert space.

AbstractThis paper characterizes the Banach space E for the sequential continuity and the continuity on bounded sets of the composition map m: C(S, E)wk x K{E,F)wk —> C(S,F)wk. Here, K(E,F) denotes the Banach space of compact linear operators on the Banach space E to the Banach space F with the usual operator norm, and for any Banach space E, Ewk denote the Banach space E with the weak topology. Also we denote by C(S, E) the Banach space of E valued continuous functions on a nonvoid compact Hausdorff space S with sup norm.

Given a parametrised measure and a family of continuous functions (φn), we construct a sequence of functions (uk) such that, as k→∞, the functions φn(uk) converge to the corresponding moments of the measure,in the weak * topology. Using the sequence (uk) corresponding to a dense family of continuous functions, a proof of the fundamental theorem for Young measures is given.We apply these techniques to an optimal design problem for plates with variable thickness. The relaxation of the compliance functional involves three continuous functions of the thickness. We characterise a set of admissible generalised thicknesses, on which the relaxed functional attains its minimum.

Let X and Y be Banach spaces and let C(X, Y) be the functions from X to Y continuous with respect to the weak topology on X and the strong topology on Y. By the Mosco topology τM on C(X, Y) we mean the supremum of the Fell topologies determined by the weak and strong topologies on X × Y, where functions are identified with their graphs. The function space is Hausdorff if and only if both X and Y are reflexive. Moreover, τM coincides with the stronger compact-open topology on C(X, Y) provided X is reflexive and Y is finite dimensional. We also show convergence in either sense is properly weaker than continuous convergence, even for continuous linear functionals, whenever X is infinite dimensional. For real-valued weakly continuous functions, τM is the supremum of the Mosco epitopology and the Mosco hypotopology if and only if X is reflexive.

AbstractLet X be a Hausdorff topological space. We consider various locally convex spaces of continuous real valued functions on X and give necessary and sufficient conditions in order that (i) they contain an absolutely convex weakly compact total subset and (ii) they contain an absolutely convex total subset which is an Eberlein compact, when given the weak topology.

In the present work, using the concept of A -statistical convergence for double real sequences, we obtain a statistical approximation theorem for sequences of positive linear operators defined on the space of all real valued B -continuous functions on a compact subset of the real line. Furthermore, we display an application which shows that our new result is stronger than its classical version.
