Recently, H'michane et al. ['On the class of limited operators', Acta Math. Sci. (submitted)] introduced the class of weak * Dunford-Pettis operators on Banach spaces, that is, operators which send weakly compact sets onto limited sets. In this paper, the domination problem for weak * Dunford-Pettis operators is considered. Let S , T : E → F be two positive operators between Banach lattices E and F such that 0 ≤ S ≤ T . We show that if T is a weak * Dunford-Pettis operator and F is σ-Dedekind complete, then S itself is weak * Dunford-Pettis.2010 Mathematics subject classification: primary 46B42; secondary 46B50, 47B65.
