Abstract

Let 0<pq+. Let T be a bounded sublinear operator from a Banach space X into an Lp(Ω,μ) and let T be the set of all linear operators T. In the present paper, we will show the following. Let C be a positive constant. For all u in T, Cpq(u)C (i.e., u admits a factorization of the form Xu˜Lq(Ω,μ)MguLq(Ω,μ), where u˜ is a bounded linear operator with u˜C, Mgu is the bounded operator of multiplication by gu which is in BLr+(Ω,μ) (1/p=1/q+1/r), u=Mguu˜ and Cpq(u) is the constant of q-convexity of u) if and only if T admits the same factorization; This is under the supposition that {gu}uT is latticially bounded. Without this condition this equivalence is not true in general.
