ON A CLASS OF WEAKLY CONTINUOUS OPERATORS

Let X and Y be normed linear spaces. An operator T defined on X with the range in Y is continuous in the sense that if a sequence {x$_{n}$} in X converges to x for the weak topology .sigma.(X.X') then {Tx$_{n}$} converges to Tx for the norm topology in Y. We shall denote the class of such operators by WC(X, Y). For example, if T is a compact operator then T.mem.WC(X, Y). In this note we discuss relationships between WC(X, Y) and the class of weakly of bounded linear operators B(X, Y). In the last section, we will consider some characters for an operator in WC(X, Y).).
