Gossez type (D) operators are defined in non-reflexive Banach spaces and share with the subdifferential operator a topological related property, characterized by bounded nets. In this work we present new properties and characterizations of these operators. The class (NI) was defined after Gossez defined the class (D) and seemed to generalize the class (D). One of our main results is the proof that these classes, type (D) and (NI), are identical.
