Summary: Many results connect reflexivity and systems of simultaneous equations in the predual (well known by Property $(\mathbb A_{m,n})$ and $(\mathbb B_{m,n})$) of weakly*-closed subspaces of operators on Hilbert space ([4], [6] and [9]). Here we prove under a suitable hypothesis on the dual space $\mathcal A$ (weak*-closed subspace of $\mathcal L(\mathcal H)$) that the dual space generated by $\mathcal A$ and a compact operator K is reflexive if the rank of K is greater than 5.
