On limited and almost limited operators between Banach lattices
Safak Alpay, Svetlana Gorokhova
TL;DR
This work analyzes limited and almost limited operators between Banach lattices, clarifying how dual lattice continuity, order-interval structure, and norm o-continuity influence inclusions among DP, Lwc, semi-compact, and related operator classes. It establishes precise conditions under which semi-K, DP, W, Lwc, Mwc, and their almost variants collapse to more compact or limited classes, including when $E^*$ is a KB-space or when $F$ has limited/compact order intervals or o-continuous norms. It extends the theory to regular/positive and factorized operators, and develops collective versions for families of operators, providing lattice-approximation tools for collectively Mwc families. The results unify and extend known inclusions, yielding practical criteria for when operators between Banach lattices exhibit compactness-type behavior in both individual and collective settings.
Abstract
We study (almost) limited operators in Banach lattices and their relations to L-weakly compact, semi-compact, and Dunford-Pettis operators. Several further related topics are investigated.
