Let be the open unit ball. Since is not meagre in , at least one closure has nonempty interior. A ball contained in that closure, subtracted from itself, gives a ball about zero contained in . Scaling yields some with
No completeness of is used here; the hypothesis is second category in , not merely in the relative image topology.
If , choose with . Then choose so the new residual is below , and continue. The series converges in the Banach space , has norm less than one, and continuity of gives . Thus .
The linear subspace contains a ball about zero, so it is all of : is surjective. Translated and scaled unit-ball images show that every open-set image is open. If is injective, its inverse is linear and the ball inclusion gives , by scaling and taking a limiting bound. Thus exists and is bounded.
For the first nonlinear counterexample use : its image is of second category but is not all of . For the second use the continuous surjection for , for , and for . The open interval maps to the nonopen singleton . Linearity is essential to the conclusions.
