Maximality of sums of two maximal monotone operators in general Banach space

We combine methods from convex analysis, based on a function of Simon Fitzpatrick, with a fine recent idea due to Voisei, to prove maximality of the sum of two maximal monotone operators in Banach space under various natural domain and transversality conditions.
