The principal goal of this work is to generalize to the case of locally convex-solid Riesz spaces the following famous theorem on domination of compact operators on Banach lattices. Theorem. Let \(S,T: E\to E\) be two positive operators on a Banach lattice \(E\), let \(T\) dominate \(S\), i.e., \(T\geq S\), and let \(T\) be compact. Then 1) the operator \(S^ 3\) is compact, 2) if \(E\) or \(E^*\) has an order continuous norm, then \(S^ 2\) is compact, and 3) if both \(E\) and \(E^*\) have an order continuous norm, then \(S\) is compact. Statements 1) and 2) are due to C. D. Aliprantis and O. Burkinshaw and statement 3) is due to P. Dodds and D. Fremlin. While dealing with locally convex-solid Riesz spaces the author adopts M. Duhoux's definition of compactness: the image of any topologically bounded set should be precompact. For all details regarding this generalization and for many other relevant results we refer the reader to this interesting work.
