“…The study of properties of non-surjective ε-isometries has been active since 90's of the last century (see, for instance, [1,3,[9][10][11][12][13]25,[27][28][29][30][31]). The question, if every standard ε-isometry f : X → Y admits a linear quasi-left inverse, that is, if there exists T ∈ B(Y f , X) so that T f − Id is uniformly bounded on X seems to be very natural.…”
