Let be a completely regular Hausdorff space, and and be Banach spaces. Let be a space of all continuous functions such that is a relatively compact set in , equipped with the strict topology . We study -continuous strongly bounded operators . In particular, we establish the relationships between -continuous strongly bounded operators and weakly compact (resp. weakly precompact; unconditionally converging; completely continuous; weakly completely continuous) operators . In particular, it is shown that if is a Schur space, then the space has the strict Dunford–Pettis property.
