Some results on the properties \(D_3(f)\) and \(D_4(f)\) (Q863771)

For a Fréchet space \(E\), it is shown that \(E\) satisfies Apiola's condition \(D_3(f)\) if and only if there is an index set \(I\) such that for every stable nuclear exponent sequence \( \alpha \) the space \(E\) is isomorphic to a subspace of \(\ell^\infty(I)\hat\otimes_\pi L_f(\alpha,\infty)\). For \(D_4(f)\), the analogous result is shown where ``subspace'' is replaced by ``quotient'' and \( \ell^\infty \) by \( \ell^1\).
