Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a complex separable Hilbert space and $\mathcal{L}\left( \mathcal{H} \right)$ denote the collection of bounded linear operators on $\mathcal{H}$. In this paper, we show that for any operator $A\,\in \,\mathcal{L}\left( \mathcal{H} \right)$, there exists a stably finitely $\left( \text{SI} \right)$ decomposable operator ${{A}_{\epsilon }}$, such that $\left\| A-{{A}_{\epsilon }} \right\|\,<\,\epsilon$ and ${{\mathcal{A}}^{\prime }}\left( {{A}_{\epsilon }} \right)/\text{rad}\,{{\mathcal{A}}^{\prime }}\left( {{A}_{\epsilon }} \right)$ is commutative, where rad ${{\mathcal{A}}^{\prime }}\left( {{A}_{\epsilon }} \right)$ is the Jacobson radical of ${{\mathcal{A}}^{\prime }}\left( {{A}_{\epsilon }} \right)$. Moreover, we give a similarity classification of the stably finitely decomposable operators that generalizes the result on similarity classification of Cowen–Douglas operators given by C. L. Jiang.
