We establish the domination property and some lattice approximation properties for almost L-weakly and almost M-weakly
compact operators. Then, we consider the linear span of positive almost L-weakly (resp., almost M-weakly) compact operators
and give results about when they form a Banach lattice and have an order continuous norm.
1. Introduction and Notation
In this article, we denote real Banach spaces by X and Y and
real Banach lattices by E and F . The closed unit ball and the
norm dual of X are denoted by B
X
and X
′
, respectively. E
+
denotes the positive cone of E, i.e., E
+
= fx ∈ E : x ≥ 0g. Let
x ∈ E. The positive part, the negative part, and the modulus
of x are given by x
+
= x∨0, x
-
= ð-xÞ∨0, and jxj = ð-xÞ∨x,
respectively. For all x, y ∈ E with x ≤ y, the order interval
between x and y is denoted by ½x, y = fz ∈ E : x ≤ z ≤ yg .
We write SolðAÞ for the solid hull of a set A ⊆ E. By an oper-
ator T : X ⟶ Y , we mean a bounded linear mapping. The
space of all operators from X into Y is denoted by LðX, Y Þ
. If T : X ⟶ Y is an operator, its adjoint T
′
: Y
′
⟶ X
′
is
defined by ðT ′ f ÞðxÞ = f ðTxÞ for each f ∈ Y ′ and for each x
∈ X. The space of all regular operators from E into F is
denoted by L
r
ðE, F Þ. If T : E ⟶ F is an operator with mod-
ulus, then the regular norm of T is given by kT k
r
= kjT jk. For
any unexplained notion and terminology, we refer to [1, 2].
Recently, the class of compact and related operators was
studied extensively (for instance in [3, 4]). In [3], some
identities and estimates for the Hausdorff measures of non-
compactness of some operators on the fractional sets of
sequences of fractional orders were established, and some
classes of compact operators on the fractional sets of
sequences were characterized. Also, necessary and sufficient
conditions for the class of compact matrix operators from
the fractional sets of sequences into the set of bounded
sequences were given. In [4], power bounded m-isometric
Banach space operator was shown to be polaroid, and the
polaroid property for n-quasi left m-invertible operators
was proved. In approximation theory, many authors studied
some estimates on the positive linear operators with an
emphasis on the Kantorovich operators, Durrmeyer-
Bernstein operators, and exponential type operators [5–7].
These types of operators have nice and interesting conver-
gence properties. The approximation process by the
sequence of positive linear operators for integrable or contin-
uous functions was presented [5–7]. The common properties
of these studies and the present work are positivity of linear
operators, uniform convergence of sequences, and Banach
lattices (e.g., L
1
½0, 1 and C[0,1]).
The class of compact (resp., weakly compact) operators
does not satisfy the domination property [1, 2]. In other
words, if two positive operators S, T : E ⟶ F between
Banach lattices satisfy 0 ≤ S ≤ T and T is compact (resp.,
weakly compact), then S is not necessarily compact (resp.,
weakly compact). Also, a compact operator (resp., weakly
