Denote by S and M respectively the complex vector spaces of simple and measurable complex valued functions defined on the finite measure space X. Let T be a positive linear map from S to M such that for each p, 1 < p < ∞, sup {||T f||p: f ∈ S, ||f||P ≦ 1} is finit. finite. T then has an extension to a bounded transformation of every LP(X), 1 < p < ∞ , and these extensions are "consistent". The norm of T as a transformation of Lp is denoted ||T||P. The aim of this note is to prove the following theorem.
