We discuss some additivity properties of the simplicial volume for manifolds with boundary: we give proofs of additivity for glueing amenable boundary components and of superadditivity for glueing amenable submanifolds of the boundary, and we discuss doubling of 3-manifolds. This paper is devoted to the behaviour of simplicial volume under cutting and pasting along amenable submanifolds. Such results have been proved by Gromov in [1], for closed manifolds ([1], Section 3) by fairly elementary arguments, and for open manifolds ([1], Section 4) by much more advanced arguments. The aim of this article is to write complete proofs for the case of compact manifolds with boundary, using elementary arguments which are closer to the arguments that were needed for the closed case. The simplicial volume is a homotopy invariant of compact manifolds. It was defined in [1], using the l-norm on singular chains, as follows. Definition: a) Let (X,Y ) be a pair of spaces, and h ∈ H∗ (X,Y ;R) a relative homology class. Its Gromov norm ‖ h ‖ is defined by
