Abstract

Some constrained open mapping theorems are obtained via Ekeland's variational principle. The constraint need only be a closed subset when the mapping is assumed to be Lipschitz, or a closed convex cone when the mapping is assumed to be closed. Generalizations of some previous results of Welsh and others are obtained. Apart from the presence of a constraint and a different method, the differentiability assumptions made are weaker. As applications, two results on the constrained controllability of nonlinear systems are given.
