Jc. Hou, LINEAR INTERPOLATION AND THE ELEMENTARY OPERATORS ON B(H), Science in China. Series A, Mathematics, Physics, Astronomy & Technological Sciences, 36(9), 1993, pp. 1025-1035
Let H be a Banach space. In this paper the sufficient and necessary co
nditions for an elementary operator on B(H) to be of finite rank or of
rank one are obtained; a characterization of an abstract linear mappi
ng on B(H) to be a finite-rank elementary operator is given; and it is
also shown that a linear interpolation of finitely many elementary op
erators DELTA1,...,DELTA(k) is still an elementary operator though it
may not be a linear combination of DELTA(i)'s.
