Abstract:
A classical result of W. Bade states that if is any complete Boolean algebra of projections in an arbitrary Banach space then, for every there exists an element (called a Bade functional for with respect to in the dual space , with the following two properties: (i) is non-negative on and, (ii) whenever satisfies It is shown that a Fréchet space has this property if and only if it does not contain an isomorphic copy of the sequence space
