 ${\mathcal{K}}_{\mathit{up}}$ -APPROXIMATION PROPERTY AND ITS DUALITYPublished online by Cambridge University Press: 20 November 2014
We introduce an approximation property (  ${\mathcal{K}}_{\mathit{up}}$ -AP,
 ${\mathcal{K}}_{\mathit{up}}$ -AP,   $1\leq p<\infty$ ), which is weaker than the classical approximation property, and discover the duality relationship between the
 $1\leq p<\infty$ ), which is weaker than the classical approximation property, and discover the duality relationship between the   ${\mathcal{K}}_{\mathit{up}}$ -AP and the
 ${\mathcal{K}}_{\mathit{up}}$ -AP and the   ${\mathcal{K}}_{p}$ -AP. More precisely, we prove that for every
 ${\mathcal{K}}_{p}$ -AP. More precisely, we prove that for every   $1<p<\infty$ , if the dual space
 $1<p<\infty$ , if the dual space   $X^{\ast }$  of a Banach space
 $X^{\ast }$  of a Banach space   $X$  has the
 $X$  has the   ${\mathcal{K}}_{\mathit{up}}$ -AP, then
 ${\mathcal{K}}_{\mathit{up}}$ -AP, then   $X$  has the
 $X$  has the   ${\mathcal{K}}_{p}$ -AP, and if
 ${\mathcal{K}}_{p}$ -AP, and if   $X^{\ast }$  has the
 $X^{\ast }$  has the   ${\mathcal{K}}_{p}$ -AP, then
 ${\mathcal{K}}_{p}$ -AP, then   $X$  has the
 $X$  has the   ${\mathcal{K}}_{\mathit{up}}$ -AP. As a consequence, it follows that every Banach space has the
 ${\mathcal{K}}_{\mathit{up}}$ -AP. As a consequence, it follows that every Banach space has the   ${\mathcal{K}}_{u2}$ -AP and that for every
 ${\mathcal{K}}_{u2}$ -AP and that for every   $1<p<\infty$ ,
 $1<p<\infty$ ,   $p\neq 2$ , there exists a separable reflexive Banach space failing to have the
