The Set of Invertible Operators Is Open
A corollary is that the set of invertible operators between two Banach spaces B and B' is open in the topology induced by the operator norm. Indeed, let S : B → B' be an invertible operator and let T: B → B' be another operator. If |S – T | < |S–1|–1, then T is also invertible. This follows by writing T as
and applying the result in the previous section on the second factor. The norm of T–1 can be bounded by

Famous quotes containing the words set and/or open:
“Come, thou long-expected Jesus,
born to set thy people free;
from our fears and sins release us,
let us find our rest in thee.”
—Charles Wesley (1707–1788)
“Why the jailer does not leave open his prison doors,—why the judge does not dismiss his case,—why the preacher does not dismiss his congregation! It is because they do not obey the hint God gives them, nor accept the pardon which he freely offers to all.”
