Abstract

We characterize the centre of the Banach lattice of Banach lattice 𝐸 -valued continuous functions on the Alexandroff duplicate of a compact Hausdorff space 𝐾 in terms of the centre of 𝐶 ( 𝐾 , 𝐸 ) , the space of 𝐸 -valued continuous functions on 𝐾 . We also identify the centre of 𝐶 𝐷 0 ( 𝑄 , 𝐸 ) = 𝐶 ( 𝑄 , 𝐸 ) + 𝑐 0 ( 𝑄 , 𝐸 ) whose elements are the sums of 𝐸 -valued continuous and discrete functions defined on a compact Hausdorff space 𝑄 without isolated points, which was given by Alpay and Ercan (2000).
