Extract

We give sufficient conditions under which a funclion f: XY is an open mapping, where X and y are Banach spaces. This function is not necessarily continuous, but is assumed to have closed graph. We prove our results without requiring that f be Gateaux differentiable; instead, f is assumed to possess a weak type of Gateaux inverse derivative.
