In this paper we will be concerned with studying operators T: C(K, X) → Y defined on Banach spaces of continuous functions. We will be particularly interested in studying the classes of strictly singular and strictly cosingular operators. In the process, we obtain answers to certain questions recently raised by Bombal and Porras in [5]. Specifically, we study Banach space X and Y for which an operator T: C(K, X) → Y with representing measure m is strictly singular (strictly cosingular) whenever m is strongly bounded and m(A) is strictly singular (strictly cosingular) for each Borel subset A of K. Along the way we establish several results dealing with non-compact operators on continuous function spaces, and we consolidate numerous results concerning extension theorems for operators defined on these same spaces. Also, we join Saab and Saab [25] in demonstrating that if l1 does not embed in X* then the adjoint T* of a strongly bounded map must be weakly precompact, thereby presenting an alternative solution to a question raised in [2].

AbstractWe characterize those linear projections represented as a convex combination of two surjective isometries on standard Banach spaces of continuous functions with values in a strictly convex Banach space.

Abstract Galego and Samuel showed that if K, L are metrizable, compact, Hausdorff spaces, then $C(K)\widehat{\otimes}_\pi C(L)$ is c0-saturated if and only if it is subprojective if and only if K and L are both scattered. We remove the hypothesis of metrizability from their result and extend it from the case of the twofold projective tensor product to the general n-fold projective tensor product to show that for any $n\in\mathbb{N}$ and compact, Hausdorff spaces K1, …, K n , $\widehat{\otimes}_{\pi, i=1}^n C(K_i)$ is c0-saturated if and only if it is subprojective if and only if each K i is scattered.

In this paper, conditions are given that imply that for all λ≠0, λ−Tand λ −T†maintain important standard operator relationships. For example, under the conditions given, λ −Thas closed range if, and only if, λ −T†has closed range.These general results are shown to apply to certain classes of integral operators acting on spaces of continuous functions.

AbstractThe investigations of the smooth points in the spaces of continuous function were started by Banach in 1932 considering function space $$\mathcal {C}(\Omega )$$ C ( Ω ) . Singer and Sundaresan extended the result of Banach to the space of vector valued continuous functions $$\mathcal {C}(\mathcal {T},E)$$ C ( T , E ) , where $$\mathcal {T}$$ T is a compact metric space. The aim of this paper is to present a description of semi-smooth points in spaces of continuous functions $$\mathcal {C}_0(\mathcal {T},E)$$ C 0 ( T , E ) (instead of smooth points). Moreover, we also find necessary and sufficient condition for semi-smoothness in the general case.

Let α be a nonnegative continuous function on ℝ. In this paper, the author obtains a necessary and sufficient condition for polynomials with gaps to be dense in Cα, where Cα is the weighted Banach space of complex continuous functions ƒ on ℝ with ƒ(t) exp(−α(t)) vanishing at infinity.

AbstractLet C denote the space of continuous functions mapping [0,1] into itself and endowed with the sup metric. It has been shown that C2 = {f ∘ f: ∈ C} is an analytic but non-Borel subset of C. This implies that there is no simple geometric characterization for a function being a square. In this paper we consider the problem of characterizing those functions which can be approximated by squares. In the first section we prove that any continuous function mapping a closed proper subset of [0,1 ] into [0,1 ] can be extended to a square. In particular this shows that C2 is Lp dense in C. On the other hand, C2 does not contain a ball when C is endowed with the sup metric. In the second section we prove that no strictly decreasing function can be uniformly approximated by squares, although the distance between the class of strictly decreasing functions and C2 is zero. In the last section we investigate the function f(x) = 1 − x and show that for every g ∈ C and that ¼ cannot be improved.

Let K be a compact Hausdorff space and E, F Banach spaces. We denote by C(K, E) the Banach space of all continuous. E-valued functions defined on K, with the supremum norm. It is well known ([6], [7]) that every operator (= bounded linear operator) T from C(K, E) to F has a finitely additive representing measure m of bounded semi-variation, defined on the Borel σ-field Σ of K and with values in L(E, F″) (the space of all operators from E into the second dual of F), in such a way thatwhere the integral is considered in Dinculeanu's sense.
