Dunford-Pettis sets (Q2731923)

A Banach space \(X\) has the Dunford-Pettis property if each weakly compact operator with the domain \(X\) and range an arbitrary Banach space \(Y\) maps weakly compact sets in \(X\) into norm compact sets in \(Y\). A bounded set \(A\) in \(X\) is said to be a Dunford-Pettis subset of \(X\) if \(T(A)\) is relatively norm compact in \(Y\) whenever \(T: X\to Y\) is a weakly compact operator. Therefore a Banach space \(X\) has the Dunford-Pettis property if and only if each of its weakly compact sets is a Dunford-Pettis set.NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINELet \(X\) be a Banach space and \(X^*\) its conjugate space. The sequence \((x_n, f^*_n)\) is called bibasic sequence if \((x_n)\) is a basic sequence in \(X\), \((f_n)\) a basic sequence in \(X^*\) and \(f^*_i(x_j)= \delta^i_j\) holds for \(i,j= 1,2,\dots\)\ .NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEThe complete study of relationships between the Dunford-Pettis subsets, bibasis and unconditional basis in Banach space is given in the presented paper.
