Let n be a natural number, such that . As a simultaneous extension of the p-summing and multiple p-summing operators we introduce the class of all n-linear operators which are -summing, . If , are such that we introduce the class of the operators with the Maurey–Pietsch -splitting property as the multilinear analogue of the class of -mixing linear operators and, as particular classes, , . We introduce two new classes of multilinear operators both being the multilinear analogues of the class of r-nuclear operators, namely, the class of r-nuclear operators with respect to the -norm, and the class and prove that . By concrete examples, we show that, contrary to the linear case, when , in the multilinear case the inclusions , are not true, which is in contrast to a well-known result shown by us in another paper that.
