Extract

This paper is concerned with the properties of precompact and compact linear operators from a locally convex Hausdorff space into itself, the field of scalars being the complex number field.

The Riesz–Schauder theory for the equations

where T is a compact linear operator from the Bacach space into itself, is well known (see, for example, Banach(1), Chapter 10, §2) and has been extended to the more general setting of locally convx Hausdorff spaces by Leray (4). In particular, the ‘Fredholm alternative theorem’ remains valid.
