Abstract: | We consider interpolation of operators acting on functions that belong to a given cone Q with the so‐called decomposition property. The set of all positive functions whose level sets are the level sets of a given function is the main example, and the cone of all decreasing functions is a particular case. As applications, we obtain conditions for the identity (E0 ∩ Q,E1 ∩ Q)θ,p = (E0,E1)θ,p ∩ Q and interpolation results for operators which are bounded when restricted to a given family of characteristic funcions.
