AN EXTENSION OF THE BANACH–STONE THEOREM

Abstract

We establish an extension of the Banach–Stone theorem to a class of isomorphisms more general than isometries in a noncompact framework. Some applications are given. In particular, we give a canonical representation of some (not necessarily linear) operators between products of function spaces. Our results are established for an abstract class of function spaces included in the space of all continuous and bounded functions defined on a complete metric space.
