A note on Robinson-Ursescu and Lyusternik-Graves theorem (Q353159)

The main result of this interesting paper is the following extension of the Robinson-Ursescu theorem: Let \((X,\left\| \cdot\right\| _{X})\) and \((Y,\left\| \cdot\right\| _{Y})\) be Banach spaces, let \(T:X\rightrightarrows Y\), and let \((x_{0},y_{0})\in\text{gph}\,T\). Suppose that \(\text{dom}\,T\) is bounded, that \(\text{gph}\,T\) is locally star-shaped at \((x_{0},y_{0}),\) and that \(\text{rge}\,T\) is locally conic at \(y_{0}.\) Then \(T\) is relatively open at \((x_{0},y_{0})\) with a linear rate. In particular, if \(y_{0}\) is an interior point of \(\text{rge}\,T\), then \(T\) is open at \((x_{0},y_{0})\) with a linear rate. It is proved by examples that every assumption on \(T\) in the preceding theorem is essential. An extension of Graves' open mapping theorem is also established.
