Let \(m\) be the normalized Lebesgue measure on the unit ball \(B\) of \(\mathbb{C}^n\). For \(f\) a holomorphic function on~\(B\), the Hankel operator \(H_f\) with symbol \(f\) is defined as \(H_f g=(I-P)(\overline fg)\), where \(P\) is the orthogonal projection in \(L^2(B)\) onto the holomorphic subspace \(L^2_{\text{hol}}(B)\); that is, \[ H_f g= \int_B \overline{(f(z)-f(w))} K(z,w) g(w) dm(w) \tag \(*\) \] where \(K(z,w)\) is the Bergman kernel of~\(B\). It~is known that \(H_f\) is bounded or compact from \(L^2_{\text{hol}}(B)\) into \(L^2(B)\) if and only if \(f\) belongs to the Bloch space or to the little Bloch space of~\(B\), respectively. Recently \textit{M. M. Peloso} [Pac. J. Math. 61, No. 1, 155-187 (1993; Zbl 0791.46019)] has introduced a kind of generalized Hankel operators \(H_{f,j}\) and \(H'_{f,j}\) by replacing \(f(z)-f(w)\) in the formula (\(*\)) by the expressions \(-\Delta_j f(w,z)\) and \(\Delta_j f(z,w)\), respectively, where \[ \Delta_j f(w,z) = f(w) - \sum_{|\alpha|<j} \frac{D^\alpha f(z)} {\alpha!} (w-z)^\alpha , \] and shown that \(H_{f,j}\) and \(H_{f,j}'\) have the same boundedness and compactness properties on \(L^2_{\text{hol}}(B)\) as \(H_{f,1}=H'_{f,1}= H_f\), for any~\(j\). Subsequently \textit{J.~Godula} [Complex Variables 34, No. 4, 343-350 (1997; Zbl 0919.47018)] generalized the boundedness part also to all \(L^p_{\text{hol}}(B)\), with \(1<p<\infty\). In the present paper, the authors show that the compactness part generalizes as well: for any \(j=1,2,\dots\) and \(1<p<\infty\), \(H_{f,j}\) is compact from \(L^p_{\text{hol}}(B)\) into \(L^p(B)\) if and only if \(H'_{f,j}\) is, if and only if \(f\) is in the little Bloch space.
