Some characterizations of KB-operators on Banach lattices and ordered Banach spaces

Abstract

We determine that two recent classes of KB-operators and weak KB-operators and the well-known class of b -weakly compact operators, from a Banach lattice into a Banach space, are the same. We extend our study to the ordered Banach space setting by showing that a weak chain-preserving operator between two ordered Banach spaces is a KB-operator if and only if it is a weak KB-operator.
