In general topology, an open map is a function on a topological space which maps every open set in the domain to an open set in the image.
A homeomorphism may be defined as a continuous open bijection.
Open mapping theorem
The open mapping theorem states that under suitable conditions a differentiable function may be an open map.
Open mapping theorem for real functions. Let f be a function from an open domain D in Rn to Rn which is differentiable and has non-singular derivative non-singular in D. Then f is an open map on D.
Open mapping theorem for complex functions. Let f be a non-constant holomorphic function on an open domain D in the complex plane. Then f is an open map on D.
