Abstract

In this note we present necessary and sufficient conditions characterizing conditionally weakly compact sets in the space of (bounded linear) operator valued measures Mba(Σ,(X,Y)). This generalizes a recent result of the author characterizing conditionally weakly compact subsets of the space of nuclear operator valued measures Mba(Σ,(X,Y)). This result has interesting applications in optimization and control theory as illustrated by several examples.

Keywords

space of operator valued measures, weak compactness, semigroups of bounded linear operators, optimal structural control
