Abstract: Let E, F be separable Hilbert spaces, and assume that E is infinite-dimensional. We show that for every continuous mapping f:EoF and every continuous function varepsilon:Eo(0,infty) there exists a Cinfty mapping g:EoF such that |f(x)g(x)|leqvarepsilon(x) and Dg(x):EoF is a surjective linear operator for every xinE. We also provide a version of this result where E can be replaced with a Banach space from a large class (including all the classical spaces with smooth norms, such as c0, ellp or Lp, 1<p<infty), and F can be taken to be any Banach space such that there exists a bounded linear operator from E onto F. In particular, for such E,F, every continuous mapping f:EoF can be uniformly approximated by smooth open mappings. Part of the proof provides results of independent interest that improve some known theorems about diffeomorphic extractions of closed sets from Banach spaces or Hilbert manifolds.
