Abstract
Let be the pointwise (Minkowski) sum of two convex subsets and of a Banach space. Is it true that every continuous mapping splits into a sum of continuous mappings and ? We study this question within a wider framework of splitting techniques of continuous selections. Existence of splittings is guaranteed by hereditary invertibility of linear surjections between Banach spaces. Some affirmative and negative results on such invertibility with respect to an appropriate class of convex compacta are presented. As a corollary, a positive answer to the above question is obtained for strictly convex finite-dimensional precompact spaces.
