On reduced minimum attaining operators
摘要
We study the reduced minimum of a bounded linear operator between Banach spaces with special reference to Hilbert spaces. We also study reduced minimum attaining operators between Banach spaces. We prove that for any Banach space Y, every bounded linear operator between Banach spaces X and Y attains the reduced minimum if and only if X is finite dimensional. Finally, we study the reduced minimum attainment set of an operator and characterize the reflexive property of a Banach space with the help of the reduced minimum attainment set of a rank-one operator.
