“…Let P be a nonlinear operator from a Banach space X into a Banach space 7. Many authors (see [3], [4], [6], [7], [10], [12], [13], [14] and [15]) have studied solvability of the equation Px = y, for y e Y, a considerable number of which involve local or infinitesimal assumptions on the operator P, by showing that P is surjective. However, in many cases, in general P need not be surjective, although for some y G y, the equation Px = y is solvable.…”
