Abstract
- This note considers the strictly singular mapping, denoted by $B$, from $\ell^1$ onto $\ell^2$ of an example by Goldberg and Thorp from 1963 as a typical hybrid-type operator in the context of the classification of ill-posed linear operators in infinite-dimensional Banach spaces. The null-spaces of hybrid-type operators are not complemented and therefore need special attention. More generally, a given well-posedness definition for linear operators requiring both closed range and complemented null-space is motivated by the continuity of occurring pseudo-inverse operators as a stability criterion. With respect to the operator $B$, structure, representation and properties of the operator and its adjoint are summarized in a theorem. Moreover, limitations and opportunities of regularization approaches for the treatment of $B$ are outlined.
