Hypercyclic operators on quasi-Mazur spaces

Modifying the method of Ansari, we give some criteria for hypercyclicity of quasi-Mazur spaces. They can be applied to judging hypercyclicity of non-complete and non-metrizable locally convex spaces. For some special locally convex spaces, for example, Köthe (LF)-sequence spaces and countable inductive limits of quasi-Mazur spaces, we investigate their hypercyclicity. As we see, bounded biorthogonal systems play an important role in the construction of Ansari. Moreover, we obtain characteristic conditions respectively for locally convex spaces having bounded sequences with dense linear spans and for locally convex spaces having bounded absorbing sets, which are useful in judging the existence of bounded biorthogonal systems.
