Abstract

Ghenciu and Lewis introduced the notion of a strong Dunford–Pettis set and used this notion to study the presence or absence of isomorphic copies of c0 in Banach spaces. The authors asserted that they could obtain a fundamental result of J. Elton without resorting to Ramsey theory. While the stated theorems are correct, unfortunately there is a flaw in the proof of the first theorem in the paper which also affects subsequent corollaries and theorems. The difficulty is discussed, and Elton's results are employed to establish a Schauder basis proposition which leads to a quick proof of the theorem in question. Additional results where questions arise are discussed on an individual basis.
