In this paper, extremal Kähler metrics in the sense of \textit{E. Calabi} [Ann. Math. Stud. 102, 259-290 (1982; Zbl 0487.53057)] are considered. The main result is Theorem A. Let \((M,J)\) be a compact complex manifold and let \(H^{1,1}(M,\mathbb{R})\) denote the kernel of the natural homomorphism \(H^2(M,\mathbb{R})\rightarrow H^2(M,\mathcal O)\). Let \(E\) be the set of de Rham classes swept out by the Kähler forms of extremal Kähler metrics. Then \(E\) is an open subset of \(H^{1,1}(M,\mathbb{R})\). Using this theorem, it is possible to construct many new examples of extremal Kähler manifolds of nonconstant scalar curvature. The proof is based on the Banach space inverse function theorem [\textit{J. T. Schwartz}, `Nonlinear functional analysis' (Gordon and Breach, New York etc.) (1969; Zbl 0203.14501); \textit{T. Aubin}, C. R. Acad. Sci., Paris, Sér. A 283, 119-121 (1976; Zbl 0333.53040)]. This theorem improves a previous result of the authors. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0895.00042].
