Norm-Attainability and Range-Kernel Orthogonality of Elementary Operators

Abstract

Various aspects of elementary operators have been characterized by many mathematicians. In this paper, we consider norm-attainability and orthogonality of these operators in Banach spaces. Characterizations and generalizations of norm-attainability and orthogonality are given in details. We first give necessary and sufficient conditions for norm-attainability of Hilbert space operators then we give results on orthogonality of the range and the kernel of elementary operators when they are implemented by norm-attainable operators in Banach spaces.
