A new class of linear operators on ℓ2 and Schur multipliers for them

Abstract

We introduce the space Bw(ℓ2) of linear (unbounded) operators on ℓ2 which map decreasing sequences from ℓ2 into sequences from ℓ2 and we find some classes of operators belonging either to Bw(ℓ2) or to the space of all Schur multipliers on Bw(ℓ2). For instance we show that the space B(ℓ2) of all bounded operators on ℓ2 is contained in the space of all Schur multipliers on Bw(ℓ2).
