Since F. Riesz showed in 1909 that the dual of C[0, 1] is BV[0, 1] (the functions of bounded variation on [0, 1] with II g IIBV = V(g)) via the Stieltjes integral, obtaining representations for linear operators in various settings has been a problem of interest. This paper shows the historical manner of representations, the road map type theorems and representations obtained via the v-integral. (44 pages)

This paper is a study of linear operators defined on normed linear spaces. A basic knowledge of set theory and vector spaces is assumed, and all spaces considered have real vector spaces. The first chapter is a general introduction that contains assumed definitions and theorems. Included in this chapter is material concerning linear functionals, continuity, and boundedness. The second chapter contains the proofs of three fundamental theorems of linear analysis: the Open Mapping Theorem, the Hahn-Banach Theorem, and the Uniform Boundedness Principle. The third chapter is concerned with applying some of the results established in earlier chapters. In particular, the concepts of compact operators and Schauder bases are introduced, and a proof that an operator is compact if and only if its adjoint is compact is included. This chapter concludes with a proof of an important application of the Open Mapping Theorem, namely, the Closed Graph Theorem.

We characterized the group of linear operators that preserve sign-nonsingular matrices over ��(ℝ). Then we extended these results to n show that a linear operator T that strongly preserves L-matrices over ��,�(ℝ) if and only if T preserves L-matrices and T is also one to one on m,n the set of cells. We also characterized the group of linear operators that strongly preserve L-matrices. In addition, we characterized the group of linear operators that preserve super L- matrices, the subset of L-matrix. Also we investigated linear operators that preserve totally L-matrices, the subset of L-matrix. Chapters 1 and 2 of this dissertation contain some material of the work done by other researchers on the linear preserver problems and the properties of sign-nonsingular matrices and L-matrix. Characterizations of linear operators in Chapters 3, 4, 5, and 6 of this dissertation are new.
