Streszczenie
It is proved that a separable Banach space X admits a representation $X = X_1 + X_2$ as a sum (not necessarily direct) of two infinite-codimensional closed subspaces $X_1$ and $X_2$ if and only if it admits a representation $X = A_1(Y_1) + A_2(Y_2)$ as a sum (not necessarily direct) of two infinite-codimensional operator ranges. Suppose that a separable Banach space X admits a representation as above. Then it admits a representation $X = T_1(Z_1) + T_2(Z_2)$ such that neither of the operator ranges $T_1(Z_1)$, $T_2(Z_2)$ contains an infinite-dimensional closed subspace if and only if X does not contain an isomorphic copy of $l_1$.
