This monograph isdevoted to a special area ofBanach space theory-the Kothe Bochner function space. Two typical questions in this area are: Question 1. Let E be a Kothe function space and X a Banach space. Does the Kothe-Bochner function space E(X) have the Dunford-Pettis property if both E and X have the same property? If the answer is negative, can we find some extra conditions on E and (or) X such that E(X) has the Dunford-Pettis property? Question 2. Let 1 p 00, E a Kothe function space, and X a Banach space. Does either E or X contain an lp-sequence ifthe Kothe-Bochner function space E(X)...
