%0 Journal Article %A Cobos, Fernando %A Kühn, Thomas %A Peetre, Jaak %T Multilinear forms of Hilbert type and some other distinguished forms %D 2006 %@ 0378-620X %U https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/49881 %X We give some new examples of bounded multilinear forms on thHilbert spaces 2 and L2(0,∞). We characterize those which are compact or Hilbert-Schmidt. In particular, we study m-linear forms (m ≥ 3) on 2 which can be regarded as the multilinear analogue of the famous Hilbert matrix. WeAlso determine the norm of the permanent on Kn, where K = R or C. %~
