Cone Isomorphisms and Almost Surjective Operators

Let E be a Banach lattice and F a Banach space. A bounded linear operator T:E→F is an isomorphism on the positive cone of E if and only if T∗ is almost surjective. A dual version of this theorem holds also. A bounded linear operator T:F→E is almost surjective if and only if T∗ is an isomorphism on the positive cone of F∗.
