We completely characterize parallelism of two compact linear operators between normed linear spaces $\\mathbb{X} $ and $\\mathbb{Y}$, assuming $\\mathbb{X}$ to be reflexive. We also characterize parallelism of two bounded linear operators between normed linear spaces $\\mathbb{X} $ and $\\mathbb{Y}.$ We investigate parallelism and approximate parallelism in the space of bounded linear operators defined on a Hilbert space. Using the characterization of operator parallelism, we study Birkhoff-James orthogonality in the space of compact linear operators as well as bounded linear operators. Finally, we introduce the concept of semi-rotund points (semi-rotund spaces) which generalizes the notion of exposed points (strictly convex spaces). We further study semi-rotund operators and prove that $\\mathbb{B}(\\mathbb{X},\\mathbb{Y})$ is a semi-rotund space which is not strictly convex, if $\\mathbb{X},\\mathbb{Y}$ are finite-dimensional Banach spaces and $\\mathbb{Y}$ is strictly convex.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-02-17T11:55:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "46B20", "47L05" ], "keywords": [ "bounded linear operators", "geometric properties", "operator spaces", "compact linear operators", "normed linear spaces" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
