Let
> 0. A continuous linear operator T:C(X)
C(Y) is said to be
-disjointness preserving if || (Tf)(Tg)||
whenever f, g
C(X) satisfy || f ||
= || g||
= 1 and fg
0. In this paper we basically address the following question: How close must weighted composition operators be to a given
-disjointness preserving operator?
We provide sharp stability bounds.
