I. In the first part of this paper we introduce a new class of operators, mentioned in the title. It is easy to say that these are a generalization of self-adjoint operators for Hilbert space. This is deceptive since it implies that the definition of self-adjointness is forced into the unnatural setting of a Banach space. We feel that the definition of adjoint abelian preserves the obvious distinction between a space and its dual. Certain attractive properties of self-adjoint operators have already been singled out and carried over to Banach space. Specifically, we mention the notion of hermitian (see 17; 11), and spectral type operators (see 4). There is some comparison of these concepts later.
