A Carleman operator on the space is an integral operator , i.e., a.e. for , such that a.e. on . Self-adjoint Carleman operators have generalized eigenfunction expansions (cf. Eigen function; Series expansion), which can be used in the study of linear elliptic operators, see [a1]. A general reference for Carleman operators on -spaces is [a2]. The notion of a Carleman operator has been extended in many directions. By replacing by an arbitrary Banach function space one obtains the so-called generalized Carleman operators (see [a3]) and by considering Bochner integrals (cf. Bochner integral) and abstract Banach spaces one is lead to the so-called Carleman and Korotkov operators on a Banach space ([a4]).
