1. Introduction
The approximation property, alongside the Dunford–Pettis and Hahn–Banach extension properties, plays a pivotal role in Banach space theory. Although Banach spaces with a basis guarantee the approximation property (AP, for short), Per Enflo [
1] proved that not all Banach spaces have this property. In general, vector-valued sequence and function spaces have no basis in the classical sense. However, in [
2] a new kind Schauder basis definition introduced to investigate Banach spaces valued some normed spaces. In this context, some
V-valued classical sequence spaces such as
and
have this kind of basis where
V is a Banach space. In this context, it can be concluded that some operator-valued or matrix-valued sequence spaces also have a basis. What was interesting in that study was that
and, of course,
have a Schauder basis in the sense of [
2], which is not in the form of a sequence but is in the form of a special net. This immediately leads us to the conclusion that such spaces have the AP. Using this basis definition, we also showed in [
3] that some Banach space-valued Fibonacci sequence spaces have this type of basis. In more detail,
V-valued Fibonacci sequence spaces
and
which were introduced and investigated in [
4,
5], have this kind of basis and so they have the AP. Another important type of space is the
matrix created with the help of Schröder numbers and the group of Schröder sequence spaces created accordingly. Just like Fibonacci numbers, Schröder numbers are a group of numbers that have their own interesting properties and have some applications in some important areas of mathematics. Especially Schröder numbers have a very important position in combinatorics and number theory. In this context, by using the Schröder numbers, in [
6,
7], Cihat gave the matrix
and introduced the sequence spaces
and
. In addition, the characterizations of some matrix transformations related to these sequence spaces were given. We also know these spaces as classical Schröder sequence spaces. Some properties of compact operators on these spaces were also given in [
6,
7].
First of all let us now introduce the Schröder sequence
explicitly in the form
with the associated recurrence relation
Furthermore,
can also be represented using the functional formula
where
is known as the hypergeometric function, which is defined as
At this point, we need to define the Pochhammer symbol
for
, and
for
. In [
7], it presents a new matrix
with entries
We know from summability theory that infinite lower triangular matrices define bounded (continuous) linear operators among almost all classical sequence spaces (see [
8]). By using this sub-triangular matrix
in [
7], the sequence spaces
and
are introduced, such that
and
Further, it is shown that
and
are BK spaces with the norms
and
respectively. Although the constructions of these spaces are similar to the spaces
and
given in [
4,
5], they have different properties because the Schröder numbers and Fibonacci numbers have different characteristics from each other in applications and nature. At least the characterization of matrix transformations on them is highly different. See [
4,
7] to see these differences. In parallel, the properties of
V-valued Fibonacci sequence spaces, which we examined in [
3], of course will be different from the spaces of
V-valued Schröder sequence spaces
and
, which we will define and examine below. Further, we will examine the operator-based properties of
and
, which are clarified in the sequel.
It is an important advantage that bounded linear operators on Banach or Hilbert spaces have the property of being extended to a larger space. More precisely, for a Banach space
X, given a closed subspace
V of a Banach space
U, and for a bounded linear operator
, the space
X is said to have the
Hahn–Banach extension property if
can be extended to a bounded linear operator
such that
. We know that the classical sequence space
has this property [
9]. In [
3] we proved that the Fibonacci sequence space
also has this property. We will see that the bounded
V-valued Schröder sequence space
also has this property. Knowing that special operators have such extensions gives us the ability to obtain new operators suitable for special purposes. Furthermore, if we consider the AP, it is easier to study the spectral theory of compact linear operators defined on Banach spaces with the AP because compact operators on such spaces can be approximated step by step with bounded linear operators of finite rank. In this paper, we prove that under one condition the
V-valued Schröder sequence space
has the AP.
Some further properties on Banach spaces such as Radon–Riesz and Dunford–Pettis allow us to better understand the algebraic and topological operator-based properties of the space. By these properties we can see some structural homogeneities and symmetries in these spaces. We show in this work that some
V-valued Schröder sequence spaces also have these nice properties. The scalar-valued versions of these spaces were introduced and analyzed in [
6,
7].
Now,
V-valued Schröder sequence spaces are defined by
and
respectively. They are Banach spaces by the following corresponding norms:
and
as usual. For
, for real or complex numbers, then
and
Further, we must notice that
V-valued classical sequence spaces
and
are Banach spaces with norms
respectively.
We will prove that possesses the Dunford–Pettis property, has the Radon–Riesz property, and has the approximation property for under certain conditions. Further, we will see that has an unconditional V-Schauder basis, while has a conditional (unordered) V-Schauder basis, and will see that obeys the Hahn–Banach extension property.
Now let us give some known definitions and theorems as a preparation for these properties. Assume
U and
V are Banach spaces. A linear operator
is called compact if it maps any bounded subset
B in
U to a relatively compact subset
in
Here
being relatively compact means
is compact in
The set of all compact linear operators from
U to
V is written as
or
if
A compact operator between Banach spaces has closed range if and only if it has finite rank; that is, its range is finite dimensional. A Banach space
U has, for every Banach space
V, the set of all finite-rank bounded linear operators that is dense in
[
10]. It is known that the spaces
and
where
have the AP [
11]. Any sequence
in
U is weakly convergent to
x if
for all
, the dual space of
and it is briefly written as
[
11]. A linear operator
is called weakly compact if the image
of any bounded subset
B in
U is relatively weakly compact in
It is known that if
T is a linear operator between
U and
V, then
T is weakly compact if and only if, for any bounded sequence
in
there exists its subsequence
such that
is weakly convergent in
V [
11]. Let us now give another essential concept introduced by Hilbert [
12]. A linear operator
S from
U into
V is completely continuous, or a Dunford–Pettis operator, if
S maps any weakly compact sets in
U into compact sets in
V.
Definition 1 ([
11]).
A Banach spaces U has the Dunford–Pettis property if U means that for every Banach spaces V, every weakly compact linear operator from U into V is a Dunford–Pettis operator. It is well known that (see [
11]) the classical Banach space
has the Dunford–Pettis property.
Theorem 1 (Phillips, R.S. [
9]).
Given a closed subspace of a Banach space U and a bounded linear operator Λ
can be extended to a bounded linear operator such that The operator described in the above theorem is sometimes called a Hahn–Banach operator and so it is said that enjoys the Hahn–Banach extension property. In this respect, we say a Banach space Z has the Hahn–Banach extension property if any closed subspace of a Banach space U and a bounded linear operator can be extended to a bounded linear operator such that
Definition 2 ([
2]).
Consider Banach spaces U and V and let be an index set, and is the family of all finite subsets of A collection of continuous linear operators is called a V-basis for
Uif there exists a directed subset , by a relation of and there exists a unique family of linear operators from U onto V such that the net converges to x in U for every , where each andMoreover, is called a V-Schauder basis for U whenever each operator is continuous. The V-basis in the definition is called unconditional if directed subset is taken as whole of with the inclusion relation
We call as the associate family of functions (A.F.F.) corresponding to V-basis
Given a V-basis for the finite summation of function induces an operator on U for each . This operator is known as the F-projection on U relative to the V-basis.
Remark 1. Let V be a Banach space over the field which has a Schauder basis in the classical sense. Then, the sequence of linear operatorsforms a -basis for V in the sense of above definition. In this case take and takeas a directed set in the poset with the inclusion relation. Further, take as the sequence of coordinate functionals corresponding to the basis Then we conclude that converges to x in U iffconverges to Theorem 2 ([
2]).
If a Banach space V possesses a Y-basis then V is separable iff the index set is countable. In this theorem, if the set is not countable, the Banach space V may not be separable even if it has such a basis. We will see an example of this in the future.
2. Main Results
In this section, first we present key results concerning V-valued Schröder sequence spaces.
Theorem 3. It is given that a Banach space V the sequence space has an unconditional V-Schauder basis.
Proof. Take
and
, the family of all finite subsets of
with the inclusion relation. Consider embeddings
where
z is in the
place. Obviously each
is a linear and bounded operator. Remember the Schröder matrix
above and observe easily that each
is a bounded linear operator from
V into
Now just the sequence
is, indeed, a
V-Schauder basis for
Now let us prove this. First of all consider the coordinate projections
Since
is the collection of all finite subsets of
, ordered by the inclusion relation ⊆, it is essential to prove that the net
converges to
x in
.
It is clear that the convergence of the given net is equivalent to the convergence of the sequence of partial sums of the series
Now, for any arbitrary
, we have to determine a finite subset
such that for any finite set
F containing
the desired property
is satisfied. As
x is contained in
, there necessarily exists a natural number
such that the series
is strictly smaller than
At this point, consider the set
as
Then we get
for each finite
This leads to the conclusion that
converges to
x in
Let us now verify that the sequence
is uniquely defined. Suppose
and write
Remember that
and
for
As
exhibits convergence toward
x in
, we get
From this observation, it follows that for all n and for every Consequently, we obtain for each ensuring the uniqueness of the basis.
Because the inequality is satisfied, each projection operator remains continuous. This confirms that indeed constitutes a V-Schauder basis for Finally, the V-basis is unconditional since the directed set is taken as whole of with the inclusion relation □
Theorem 4. The approximation property holds in for all if and only if the Banach space V has this property.
Proof. Suppose that
is a compact linear operator from a Banach space
V to
We seek a sequence
of bounded finite-rank linear operators from
V into

and explicitly
Just now we recall the classical Banach

V has the AP if and only if
has it. Hence,
We conclude that the operator
is compact. Since the matrix
is a bounded linear operator,
is also bounded and linear. By the AP of
, there exists a sequence of finite-rank bounded linear operators
from
to
such that
as
Thus, we obtain the desired sequence of finite-rank operators as
which map
into
Note that
exists for the matrix
(see [
7]), and it can easily be verified that each
is a bounded linear operator of finite rank. Further,
This completes the proof. □
Theorem 5. Suppose that V is a Banach space. Then has a V-Schauder basis in the sense of Definition [2]. Proof. By Definition [
2] let us take

D as the family of all finite partitions of

kth place. Thus, the family

let us define

Now consider the net
such that
Then
where if
and
From the definition, it is clearly seen that the convergence of the net
to zero means that the net
converges to
x in
. The meaning of this net getting closer to
x is that the
partitions become even thinner. In this case, the number of
elements in the partition goes towards infinity, and therefore the number of
’s goes towards infinity. This brings us that for every
we can determine a
such that for all
This completes the main part of the assertion. Further, the uniqueness is similar to that of Finally, easily one can see that each is continuous. □
Corollary 1. The family is a Schauder basis for where is the characteristic function of
It was shown in [
2] that the
Schauder basis for
is not unconditional. Similarly, we can conclude that
V-Schauder basis for
is not unconditional.
Remark 2. The basis we provided in the above theorem is an uncountable set. As a result, the space is not a separable Banach space even though V is separable. Although more complicated than the convergence of sequences, the ability to present an approximation process for each element still provides a minor advantage.
Theorem 6. The Banach space possesses the Dunford–Pettis property if and only if the space V also possesses it.
Proof. Suppose
is a weakly compact linear operator acting from
into
V. By composing it with
we define
, which is a bounded linear operator from
into
The weak compactness of
is guaranteed if and only if
V is weakly compact. To prove this assertion, consider a bounded subset
U of
Because
is a bounded matrix operator, we conclude that
remains a bounded subset of
As a result, we see that
is a relatively weakly compact subset in
Therefore, the operator
maintains weak compactness if and only if
V does. Since
satisfies the Dunford–Pettis property precisely when
V does, it follows that
is completely continuous. Finally, given that
W is a weakly compact subset of
, applying
ensures that
remains a weakly compact subset of

Theorem 7. Assume V is a linear subspace of a Banach space and let be a bounded linear operator. If Λ enjoys the Hahn–Banach extension property, then it is possible to construct a bounded linear operator that extends with the property
Proof. Take any bounded linear operator Since the Schröder matrix is bounded, it follows that defines a bounded linear operator. Moreover, because V satisfies the Hahn–Banach extension property, inherits this property as well.
Given any
we have

Each projection operator
acts as a coordinate mapping from
onto
V such that
By applying the Hahn–Banach extension property of

the mapping follows a precise definition
The operator

holds, we can conclude that
H satisfies the boundedness property. For any

H serves as an extension of
