A question of D. Vogt on (LF)-spaces

Acyclic and weakly acyclic (LF)-spaces were introduced and studied by Palamodov and Retakh. Recently \textit{D. Vogt} [Progress in functional analysis, North-Holland Math. Stud. 170, 57--84 (1992; Zbl 0779.46005)] investigated the implications between these properties and completeness, regularity and sequential retractivity. Complete characterizations in terms of the defining matrices \(A\) were given in the case of (LF)-sequence spaces; the relevant conditions for \(A\) were called (wQ) and (Q). Only the characterization of the weakly acyclic Köthe (LF)-sequence spaces \(E^ \infty\) of order infinity remained open. In this short note we prove that a space \(E^ \infty\) is weakly acyclic if and only if the corresponding matrix \(A\) is of type (Q). This equivalence follows easily from Vogt's work and from the following abstract result which may be of independent interest: Let \(E=\text{ind}_ k E_ k\) be an (LF)-space which is weakly acyclic and regular. For each \(k\in\mathbb{N}\), let \(F_ k\) be a closed topological subspace of \(E_ k\) such that \(F_ k\subset F_{k+1}\). Then the (LF)- space \(F:=\text{ind}_ k F_ k\) is again (weakly acyclic and) regular.
