Recently, H’michane et al. [‘On the class of limited operators’, Acta Math. Sci. (submitted)] introduced the class of weak$^*$ Dunford–Pettis operators on Banach spaces, that is, operators which send weakly compact sets onto limited sets. In this paper, the domination problem for weak
$^*$ Dunford–Pettis operators is considered. Let
$S, T:E\to F$ be two positive operators between Banach lattices
$E$ and
$F$ such that
$0\leq S\leq T$. We show that if
$T$ is a weak
$^{*}$ Dunford–Pettis operator and
$F$ is
$\sigma $-Dedekind complete, then
$S$ itself is weak
$^*$ Dunford–Pettis.
