Abstract
A Banach space operator \(T\) is said to be weakly super convex-cyclic if there exists \(x \in X\) such that \(\{\lambda p(T )x : p\, \mathrm{convex \,polynomial}, \lambda \in \mathbb {C}\}\) is weakly dense in \(X\). The notion of convex-cyclicity was introduced recently by Rezaei in Linear Algebra Appl 438(11):4190–4203, (2013). We provide a simple argument, to show that many elements in the commutant of the Volterra operator acting on \(L^p_\mathbb {C}[0,1]\) spaces are not weakly super convex-cyclic.
