QUADRATIC OPERATORS ON AM-SPACES

Włodzimierz Fechner

Abstract.   Our purpose is to deal with quadratic operators acting between vector lattices of continuous mappings on a compact Hausdorff space. In our first main result we characterize quadratic-multiplicative operators, whereas in the second one we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for a quadratic operator to be proportional to the square of a continuous linear operator.
