BKW-operators on the interval and the sequence spaces (Q1125966)

Let \(X\) and \(Y\) be normed spaces and let \(T\in L(X,Y)\), where \(L(X,Y)\) is the space of all bounded linear operators from \(X\) to \(Y\). Let \(S\) be a subset of \(X\). Then \(T\) is called a BKW-operator for the test functions \(S\) if for every net \(\{T_\lambda \}_{\lambda\in \Lambda}\) of bounded linear operators in \(L(X,Y)\) satisfying \[ \lim_\lambda |T_\lambda|=|T|, \qquad \lim_\lambda|T_\lambda f-Tf|_\infty= 0 \quad\text{for }f\in S, \] it follows that \(\{T_\lambda\}_\lambda\) converges strongly to \(T\) on \(X\). We denote by \(\text{BKW} (X,Y;S)\) the set of BKW-operators for \(S\). When \(X=Y\), we write \(L(X)\) and \(\text{BKW} (X;S)\). Let \(I\) be the closed unit interval \([0,1]\) and let \(C(I)\) be the Banach space for real valued continuous functions on \(I\) with the supremum norm. The aim of this paper is the following Theorem. \(T\in\text{BKW} (C(I); \{1,t,t^2\})\) with \(|T|=1\) if and only if \[ (Tf)(t)= a(t)f(0)+ b(t)f(1)+ c(t)f(x(t)), \tag{\(*\)} \] for every \(f\in C(I)\), where \(a,b,c\) and \(x\) are real functions satisfying the following conditions: (i) \(|a|+|b|+|c|=1\) on \(I\); (ii) \(0\leq x\leq 1\) on \(I\), and if \(x(t_0)=0\) or 1 for some \(t_0\in I\) then \(c(t_0)=0\); (iii) If \(0<|c(t_0)|<1\), then \(|(a+b+c) (t_0)|<|(a+b)(t_0)|+|c(t_0)|=1\); (iv) If \(0<|c(t_0)|<1\) and \(0<x(t_0)< {1\over2}\), then \(a(t_0)=0\); (v) If \(0<|c(t_0)|<1\) and \({1\over 2}< x(t_0)<1\) then \(b(t_0)=0\); (vi) \(a(t)\delta_0+ b(t)\delta_1c(t) \delta_{x(t)}\), \(t\in I\), moves continuously in \(M_1(I)\) with the weak*-topology.
