The purpose of this paper is to study the solvability of the equation (E). In Section 2, we give preliminary definitions. In Section 3, we prove related two results (Theorem 1 and Corollary 1) concerning the closedness property of accretive operators in the class of spaces whose nonempty bounded closed convex subsets have the fixed point property for nonexpansive self-mapping. Using therem 1, we derive a result (Theorem 2) on the range of accetive operators in (.pi.)$_{1}$ spaces with a view to establishing a new result, which improves a result of Kartsatos [8] and Webb [15]. Further, we give an interesting consequence (Corollary 3) of Theorem 2. In section 4, we apply Corollary 1 to obtain two results (Theorem 3 and 4) for the range of sums of two accretive operators, which generalize two results of Reich [12].
