Abstract. The non-archimedean power series spaces, A 1 (a) and A∞ (b), are the best known and most important examples of non-archimedean nuclear Fréchet spaces. We prove that the range of every continuous linear map from Ap(a) to Aq(b) has a Schauder basis if either p = 1 or p = ∞ and the set M b,a of all bounded limit points of the double sequence (b i /a j ) i, j∈N is bounded. It follows that every complemented subspace of a power series space Ap(a) has a Schauder basis if either p = 1 or p = ∞ and the set Ma,a is bounded.
