Strictly singular and strictly co-singular inclusions between symmetric sequence spaces

摘要

Strict singularity and strict co-singularity of inclusions between symmetric sequence spaces are studied. Suitable conditions are provided involving the associated fundamental functions. The special case of Lorentz and Marcinkiewicz spaces is characterized. It is also proved that if E hooked right arrow F are symmetric sequence spaces with E not equal l(1) and F not equal c(0) and l(infinity). then there exist a intermediate symmetric sequence space G such that E hooked right arrow G hooked right arrow F and both inclusions are not strictly singular. As a consequence new characterizations of the spaces c(o) and l(1) inside the class of all symmetric sequence spaces are given. (C) 2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. [References: 20]
