Given an operator ideal ℐ, a Banach space E has the ℐ-approximation property if the identity operator on E can be uniformly approximated on compact subsets of E by operators belonging to ℐ. In this paper the ℐ-approximation property is studied in projective tensor products, spaces of linear functionals, spaces of linear operators/homogeneous polynomials, spaces of holomorphic functions and their preduals.
