<p>This question is somehow related to <a href="http://mathoverflow.net/questions/22799" rel="nofollow">http://mathoverflow.net/questions/22799</a>. Let $E$ and $F$ be two (say real) Banach spaces, and let </p> <p>$\mathcal{P}_{E,F}$ = "<em>For every linear continuous operator</em> $T$ <em>from</em> $E^{*}$ <em>to the bidual of</em> $F$ <em>there exist some</em> $S\in L(E^{*},F)$ <em>and some</em> $Q\in L(F^{*},E)$ <em>such that</em> $T=Q^{*} +S $ ". Looking at <a href="http://mathoverflow.net/questions/23221" rel="nofollow">http://mathoverflow.net/questions/23221</a>, it follows that $\mathcal{P}_{E,F}$ </p> <p>is false if $E=\ell^{1}\left(\Gamma\right)$, and $F=c_{0}\left(\mathbb{N},H\right)$, where $H$ is a Hilbert space, and both $\mid\Gamma\mid$and $dens$ $H$ are big enough. My [maybe rather vague] question would be: are there some known (and non-trivial) sufficient conditions on the pair $\left(E,F\right)$ s.t. $\mathcal{P}_{E,F}$ is true ? Thx in advance.</p>
