This paper studies the structure of operators on Σ 1 e type Banach spaces. It solves the problem of the small compact perturbations of operators with connected spectra. Namely, it shows that every operator with a connected spectrum on separable Σ 1 e type Banach spaces is a small compact perturbation of a strongly irreducible operator. Based on this result, this paper establishes the approximate Jordan forms of operators on Σ 1 e type Banach spaces with Schauder bases.
