Abstract

For each vector xx\in \ell^{\infty}, we can define the non-empty compact set LxL_x of accumulation points of xx. Given an infinite subset AA of N\{1}\mathbb{N}\backslash\{1\}, we can therefore investigate under which conditions on AA, the set L(A):={x:LxA}L(A):=\{x\in \ell^\infty: |L_x|\in A\} is lineable or even densely lineable. In particular, we show that if L(A)L(A) is lineable then there exists k1k\ge 1 such that A(Ak)A\cap (A-k) is infinite and that if L(A)L(A) is densely lineable then A(A1)A\cap (A-1) is infinite. We end up by answering an open question on the existence of a closed non-separable subspace in which each non-zero vector has countably many accumulation points.
