Regulated curves on a Banach manifold and singularities of endpoint map. I. Banach manifold structure

Abstract

We consider regulated curves in a Banach bundle whose projection on the basis is continuous with regulated derivative. We build a Banach manifold structure on the set of such curves. This result was previously obtained for the case of strong Riemannian Banach manifold and absolutely continuous curves in [16]. The essential argument used was the existence of a “local addition” on such a manifold. Our proof is true for any Banach manifold. In the second part of the paper the problems of controllability will be discussed.
