The approximation property of order p in locally convex spaces (Q1099369)

The author extends for locally convex spaces the definition of the approximation property of order p \((AP_ p)\), introduced by \textit{P. Saphar} [Stud. Math. 38, 71-100 (1970; Zbl 0213.142)] for Banach spaces. The main result of this paper is the following theorem: Let \(E=\lim_{\to}E_ n\) be a regular inductive limit of Fréchet spaces \(E_ n\), such that every \(E_ n\) has the \(AP_ p\) with \(p>1\). Then E has the same property. This result is the analogue of \textit{K. D. Bierstedt} and \textit{R. Meise}'s result for the classical approximation property [Math. Ann. 209, 99-107 (1974; Zbl 0267.46015)]. The proof is based on several lemmas and auxiliary results.
