Linearization and compactness

Abstract

This paper is devoted to several questions concerning linearizations of function spaces. We first consider the relation between linearizations of a given space when it is viewed as a function space over different domains. Then we study the problem of characterizing when a Banach function space admits a Banach linearization in a natural way. Finally, we consider the relevance of compactness properties in linearizations, more precisely, the relation between different compactness properties of a mapping, and compactness of its associated linear operator.
