Nuclear Fréchet spaces with locally round finite dimensional decomposition (Q791823)

A class of finite dimensional decompositions (FDDs), called locally round, is introduced in Fréchet spaces. A Fréchet space with a locally round FDD can be viewed as a generalization of a Köthe space. The block subspaces and block quotients of such a space are always complemented and have a basis. Conversely, sometimes these properties characterize an FDD being locally round.
