We prove that if an F-lattice E is locally bounded (i.e., an open ball in E centered at 0 is topologically bounded) then every orthomorphism in E is central: Or th(E) = Z (E). This solves partially a problem raised recently by Chil and Meyer.For the Nakano (non-Banach) F-lattice E = ℓ ( p n ) , 0 < p n < 1, the above implication becomes an equivalence.We also study the problem of central orthomorphism in the class of (non-Banach) Musielak-Orlicz sequence spaces ℓ Φ . We give a sufficient condition on Φ for a non-central orthomorphism on ℓ Φ to exist.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
