On the composition and decomposition of positive linear operators (V) (Q1682544)

The present note supplements information contained in three earlier papers with the same title. Here the authors consider certain aspects of (in)decomposability of positive linear operators given on \(C(X)\) where \(X\) is a compact convex metrizable subset of a topological vector space which is locally convex and Hausdorff.
