Abstract
In this paper, we study a composition operator \({C_{\varphi}}\) on the weighted Bergman space \({A_{\alpha}^p(B)}\) of the unit ball B in \({{\mathbb{C}}^N}\) . Under a natural condition we estimate the essential norm of \({C_{\varphi}}\) . As a consequence of this estimate, we also give a function-theoretic characterization of \({\varphi}\) that induces a compact composition operator on \({A_{\alpha}^p(B)}\) .
