Abstract. This paper deals with a regularity assumption for the mathematical programming problem in Banach spaces. The attractive feature of our constraint qualification is the fact that it can be considered as a condition on the active part only of the constraint, and that it is preserved under small perturbations. Moreover, we show that our condition is "almost" equivalent to the existence of a non-empty and weakly compact set of Lagrange multipliers. The main step in the proof of our results is a generalization of the open mapping theorem.
