Let $A$ and $B$ be $f$-algebras with unit elements $e_{A}$ and $e_{B}$ respectively. A positive operator $T$ from $A$ to $B$ satisfying $T\left( e_{A}\right) =e_{B}$ is called a Markov operator. In this definition we replace unit elements with weak order units and, in this case, call $T$ to be a weak Markov operator. In this paper, we characterize extreme points of the weak Markov operators.
Let $E$ be a Banach function space on a probability measure space $(Ω,Σ,μ).$ Let $X$ be a Banach space and $E(X)$ be the associated Köthe-Bochner space. An operator on $E(X)$ is called a multiplication operator if it is given by multiplication by a function in $L^{\infty}(μ).$ In the main result of this paper, we show that an operator $T$ on $E(X)$ is a multiplication operator if and only if $T$ commutes with $L^{\infty}(μ)$ and leaves invariant the cyclic subspaces generated by the constant vector-valued functions in $E(X).$ As a corollary we show that this is equivalent to $T$ satisfying a functional equation considered by Calabuig, Rodríguez, Sánchez-Pérez in [3].
