Abstract

Characterisations are obtained for the following classes of unbounded linear operators between normed spaces: weakly compact, weakly completely continuous, and unconditionally converging operators. Examples of closed unbounded operators belonging to these classes are exhibited. A sufficient condition is obtained for the weak compactness of T' to imply that of T.
