In this paper we shall introduce a certain class of operators from a Banach lattice X into a Banach space B (see Definition 1) which is closely related to p-absolutely summing operators defined by Pietsch [8].
These operators, called positive p-summing, have already been considered in [9] in the case p = 1 (there they are called cone absolutely summing, c.a.s.) and in [1] by the author who found this space to be the space of boundary values of harmonic B-valued functions in .
Here we shall use these spaces and the space of majorizing operators to characterize the space of bounded p-variation measures and to endow the tensor product
with a norm in order to get
as its completion in this norm.
