The present work has its motivation in the papers [2] and [6] on distinguished Fréchet function spaces. Recall that a Fréchet space E is distinguished if it is the projective limit of a sequence of Banach spaces En such that the strong dual E′β is the inductive limit of the sequence of the duals E′n. Clearly, the property of being distinguished is inherited by complemented subspaces and in [6] Taskinen proved that the Fréchet function space C(R) ∩ L1(R) (intersection topology) is not distinguished, by showing that it contains a complemented subspace of Moscatelli type (see Section 1) that is not distinguished. Because of the criterion in [1], it is easy to decide when a Frechet space of Moscatelli type is distinguished. Using this, in [2], Bonet and Taskinen obtained that the spaces open in RN) are distinguished, by proving that they are isomorphic to complemented subspaces of distinguished Fréchet spaces of Moscatelli type.
