Abstract
We consider a compact linear map $T$ acting between Banach spaces both of which are uniformly convex and uniformly smooth; it is supposed that $T$ has trivial kernel and range dense in the target space. It is shown that if the Gelfand numbers of $T$ decay sufficiently quickly, then the action of $T$ is given by a series with calculable coefficients. This provides a Banach space version of the well-known Hilbert space result of E. Schmidt.
