Let \(\varphi \) be an analytic mapping from the unit disk \({\mathbb {D}} := \{z: |z| < 1\}\) to itself. In the context of Banach spaces of analytic functions on \({\mathbb {D}}\), we address the question: Does closed-rangedness of the composition operator \(C_{\varphi }\) on one space confer closed-rangedness of \(C_{\varphi }\) on a smaller space? We find that the answer is quite often in the affirmative and provide conditions that guarantee this. We also show that, in the absence of these conditions, the answer is not always in the affirmative.
