Spaceability in Banach and quasi-Banach sequence spaces

Let X be a Banach space. We prove that, for a large class of Banach or quasi-Banach spaces E of X-valued sequences, the sets E-?_q∈Γ?_q(X), where Γ is any subset of (0,∞], and E-c₀(X) contain closed infinite-dimensional subspaces of E (if non-empty, of course). This result is applied in several particular cases and it is also shown that the same technique can be used to improve a result on the existence of spaces formed by norm-attaining linear operators.
