Let \({X(\mu)}\) be a function space related to a measure space \({(\Omega,\Sigma,\mu)}\) with \({\chi_\Omega\in X(\mu)}\) and let \({T\colon X(\mu)\to E}\) be a Banach space-valued operator. It is known that if T is pth power factorable then the largest function space to which T can be extended preserving pth power factorability is given by the space Lp(mT) of p-integrable functions with respect to mT, where \({m_T\colon\Sigma\to E}\) is the vector measure associated to T via \({m_T(A)=T(\chi_A)}\). In this paper, we extend this result by removing the restriction \({\chi_\Omega\in X(\mu)}\). In this general case, by considering mT defined on a certain \({\delta}\)-ring, we show that the optimal domain for T is the space \({L^p(m_T)\cap L^1(m_T)}\). We apply the obtained results to the particular case when T is a map between sequence spaces defined by an infinite matrix.
