Bibliography: pages 107-110. / The theme of this thesis is the construction of state diagrams and their implications. The author generalises most of the theorems in Chapter II of Goldberg [Gl] by dropping the assumption that the doin.ain of the operator is dense in X . The author also presents the standard Taylor-Halberg-Goldberg state diagrams [Gl, 61, 66]. Chapters II and III deal with F₊- and F₋-operators, which are generalisations of the ф₊- and ф₋-operators in Banach spaces of Gokhberg-Krein [GK]. Examples are given of F₊- and F₋-operators. Also, in Chapter III, the main theorems needed to construct the state diagrams of Chapter IV are discussed. The state diagrams of Chapter IV are based on states corresponding to F₊- and F₋-operators; in addition state diagrams relating T and T˝ under the assumptions ϒ(T) > 0 and ϒ(T΄) > 0 are derived. Second adjoints are important in Tauberian Theory (see Cross [Cl]). Chapters I and IV are the main chapters. In Chapter I of this thesis the author modifies many of the proofs appearing in Goldberg [Gl), to take account of the new definition of the adjoint.

Bibliography: pages 101-104. / Linear operator theory is usually studied in the setting of normed or Banach spaces. However, careful examination of proofs shows that in many cases the Hausdorff property of normed spaces is not used. Even in those cases where explicit use of the Hausdorff property is made, one can often get around this (should one wish to work in seminormed spaces) by suitable identification of elements and then working in the resulting normed space. Working in seminormed spaces rather than normed spaces is especially advantageous when dealing with quotients (which occur in linear operator theory when one considers the factorisation of an operator through its domain space quotiented by its null space): when taking the quotient of a normed space by a subspace, one requires the subspace to be closed in order for the quotient to be a normed space; however, in the seminormed space case the requirement that the subspace be closed is no longer necessary. Seminorms are also important in the study of certain properties of the second adjoint of an operator (for example, seminorms occur in the study of operators of the Tauberian type (see [C2]) and operators analagous to weakly compact operators (see Chapter VI). It is the aim of this work to generalise as much of the basic theory of unbounded linear operators as possible to seminormed spaces. In Chapter I, some aspects of topological vector spaces (which will be used throughout this work) are presented, the most important parts being the Hahn-Banach theorem and the section on weak topologies. In Chapter II, we restrict our attention to seminormed spaces, the setting in which the remainder of this work takes place. The basic theory of unbounded linear operators, their adjoints and the relationship between operators and their adjoints is covered in Chapter III. Chapter IV concentrates on characterising unbounded strictly singular operators while in Chapter V operators with closed range are studied. Finally, in Chapter VI, a property corresponding · to one of the equivalent conditions for a bounded operator to be weakly compact is studied for unbounded operators.

For many years mathematicians have been interested in the problem of whether an operator ideal is complemented in the space of all bounded linear operators. In this dissertation the complementation of various classes of operators in the space of all bounded linear operators is considered. This paper begins with a preliminary discussion of linear bounded operators as well as operator ideals. Let L(X, Y ) be a Banach space of all bounded linear operator between Banach spaces X and Y , K(X, Y ) be the space of all compact operators, and W(X, Y ) be the space of all weakly compact operators. We denote space all operator ideals by O.
