An old question of Arhangel’skii asks if the Menger property of a Tychonoff space X is preserved by homeomorphisms of the space $C_p(X)$ of continuous real-valued functions on X endowed with the pointwise topology. We provide affirmative answer in the case of linear homeomorphisms. To this end, we develop a method of studying invariants of linear homeomorphisms of function spaces $C_p(X)$ by looking at the way X is positioned in its (Čech–Stone) compactification.

The Nevanlinna-type spaces $N_\varphi $ of analytic functions on the disk in the complex plane generated by strongly convex functions $\varphi $ in the sense of Rudin are studied. We show for some special class of strongly convex functions asymptotic bounds on the growth of the Taylor coefficients of a function in $N_\varphi $ and use these to characterize the coefficient multipliers from $N_\varphi $ into the Hardy spaces $H^p$ with $0<p\leqslant \infty $. As a by-product, we prove a representation of continuous linear functionals on $N_\varphi $.

The paper alluded to in the title contains the following striking result: Let $I$ be the unit interval and $\Delta$ the Cantor set. If $X$ is a quasi Banach space containing no copy of $c_{0}$ which is isomorphic to a closed subspace of a space with a basis and $C(I,\,X)$ is linearly homeomorphic to $C(\Delta ,\, X)$, then $X$ is locally convex, i.e., a Banach space. We will show that Kalton result is sharp by exhibiting non-locally convex quasi Banach spaces $X$ with a basis for which $C(I,\,X)$ and $C(\Delta ,\, X)$ are isomorphic. Our examples are rather specific and actually, in all cases, $X$ is isomorphic to $C(K,\,X)$ if $K$ is a metric compactum of finite covering dimension.

If the logarithmic dimension of a Cantor-type set K is smaller than $1$ , then the Whitney space $\mathcal {E}(K)$ possesses an interpolating Faber basis. For any generalized Cantor-type set K, a basis in $\mathcal {E}(K)$ can be presented by means of functions that are polynomials locally. This gives a plenty of bases in each space $\mathcal {E}(K)$ . We show that these bases are quasi-equivalent.

We give a further decay estimate for the Dziubański–Hernández wavelets that are band-limited and have subexponential decay. This is done by constructing an appropriate bell function and using the Paley–Wiener theorem for ultradifferentiable functions.

We characterize composition operators on spaces of real analytic functions which at the same time have closed image and are open onto their images. Under some mild assumptions, we also characterize composition operators with closed range and composition operators open onto their images.

This paper studies the concept of strongly omnipresent operators that was recently introduced by the first two authors. An operator T on the space H(G) of holomorphic functions on a complex domain G is called strongly omnipresent whenever the set of T-monsters is residual in H(G), and a T-monster is a function f such that Tf exhibits an extremely ‘wild’ behaviour near the boundary. We obtain sufficient conditions under which an operator is strongly omnipresent, in particular, we show that every onto linear operator is strongly omnipresent. Using these criteria we completely characterize strongly omnipresent composition and multiplication operators.

H. O. Kim has shown that contrary to the case of ${{H}^{p}}$-space, the Smirnov class $M$ defined by the radial maximal function is essentially smaller than the classical Smirnov class of the disk. In the paper we show that these two classes have the same corresponding locally convex structure, i.e. they have the same dual spaces and the same Fréchet envelopes. We describe a general form of a continuous linear functional on $M$ and multiplier from $M$ into ${{H}^{p}},\,0\,<\,p\,\le \,\infty $.

We introduce the concept of logarithmic dimension of a compact set. In terms of this magnitude, the extension property and the diametral dimension of spaces $\varepsilon \left( K \right)$ can be described for Cantor-type compact sets.

We give a positive answer to a question of Horst Tietz. A theorem of his that is related to the Mittag-Leffler theorem looks like a duality restult under some locally convex topology on the space of meromorphic functions. Tietz has posed the problem of finding such a topology. It is shown that a topology introduced by Holdguün in 1973 solves the problem. The main tool in the study of this topology is a projective description of it that is derived here. We also argue that Holdgrün's topology is the natural locally convex topology on the space of meromorphic functions.

A function theoretic proof of Axler's zero multiplier theorem of Bergman spaces is given.

Let ψ be a non-decreasing continuous subadditive function defined on [0, ∞) and satisfy ψ(x) = 0 if and only if x = 0. The space H(ψ) is defined as the set of analytic functions in the unit disk which satisfy

and the space H+ (ψ) is the space of a f ∊ H(ψ) for which

where almost everywhere.

In this paper we study the H(ψ) spaces and characterize the continuous linear functionals on H+ (ψ).

This paper proves that if р < s, then 0 is the only function that multiplies a Bergman Lр space into a Bergman Ls space.
