Stably solvable maps are unstable under small perturbations (Q1607609)

In an infinite-dimensional Banach space \(E\) over a field \(\mathbb{K}\) (\(\mathbb{R}\) or \(\mathbb{C}\)), for a continuous map \( g:E\rightarrow E\), the notion of quasinorm \(|g|= \lim_{\|x\|\rightarrow\infty} \sup \frac{\|g(x)\|}{\|x\|}\) is introduced. A map \(f:E\rightarrow E\) is said to be stably solvable if the equation \(f(x)=h(x)\) has a solution \(x\in E\) whenever \(h:E\rightarrow E\) is a completely continuous map with \(|h|=0\). These notions were introduced within the context of nonlinear spectral theory in [\textit{M. Furi, M. Martelli} and \textit{A. Vignoli}, Ann. Mat. Pura Appl. (4) 118, 229-294 (1978; Zbl 0409.47043)]. In the present paper, the following open question from the aforementioned work is solved affirmatively: the set of stably solvable maps from an infinite dimensional Banach space \(E\) into itself is not open in the topological space \(C(E)\) of the continuous selfmaps of \(E\).
