A NOTE ON THE MINIMAL ESSENTIAL SET OF COINCIDENT POINTS FOR SET-VALUED MAPPINGS LUO QUN Received 12 May 2004 and in revised form 23 November 2004 Motivated by the ideas of Kinoshita, we introduce the concept of minimal essential set of the coincident points for set-valued mappings, and we prove that there exists at least one minimal essential set and one essential component of the coincident points for set-valued mappings (satisfying some conditions). 1. Introduction Kinoshita [3] introduced the notion of essential component to the set of fixed points and proved that for any continuous mapping of the Hilbert cube into itself, there exists at least one essential component of the set of its fixed points. The natural extension of fixed point theory is the study of coincident points. Tan et al. [5] introduced the concept of essential coincident points for multivalued mappings, they also discussed the generic stability of coincident points for multivalued mappings. However, as can be seen in Example 2.9, there exist no essential coincident points. In this paper, motivated by the ideas of Kinoshita, we introduce the concept of minimal essential set of the coincident points for set-valued mappings, and we prove that there exists at least one minimal essential set of the coincident points for set-valued mappings (satisfying some conditions), and hence there exists at least one essential component of the coincident points. 2. Preliminaries Let K be a subset of a metric space (E, d); for any δ 0, we denote by O(K , δ) = {x ∈ E : d(x,K ) δ} the open neighborhood of K with radius δ in E. Let X be a nonempty compact convex subset of a Banach space V. Let S X = f : X −→ 2 upper semicontinuous and nonempty closed convex values , (2.1) where 2X denotes the family of all nonempty subsets of X . For any f ,f ∈ S, define
