Bishop-Phelps-Bollob\'as property for positive operators between classical Banach spaces

Abstract

We prove that the class of positive operators from $L_\infty (\mu)$ to $L_1 (\nu)$ has the Bishop-Phelps-Bollob\'as property for any positive measures $\mu$ and $\nu$. The same result also holds for the pair $(c_0, \ell_1)$. We also provide an example showing that not every pair of Banach lattices satisfies the Bishop-Phelps-Bollob\'as property for positive operators.
