Abstract

The β-dual of a vector-valued sequence space is defined and studied. We show that if an X-valued sequence space E is a BK-space having AK property, then the dual space of E and its β-dual are isometrically isomorphic. We also give characterizations of β-dual of vector-valued sequence spaces of Maddox (X,p), (X,p), c0(X,p), and c(X,p).
