Induced mappings on symmetric products of continua (Q340737)

For a given metric continuum \(X\) and for a positive integer \(n\) the symbol \(F_{n}(X)\) denotes the hyperspace of nonempty subsets of \(X\) having at most \(n\) points. Each mapping between continua \(f : X \rightarrow Y\) induces a mapping \(f_{n}\) between \(F_{n}(X)\) and \(F_{n}(Y)\) given by \(f_{n}(A) = \{f(a): a \in A\}\). The authors prove some relationship among the mappings \(f\) and \(f_{n}\) for the following classes of mappings: almost open, almost monotone, atriodic, feebly monotone, local homeomorphism, locally confluent, locally weakly confluent, strongly monotone and weakly semi-confluent. Some questions asked by \textit{F. Barragán} et al. [Glas. Mat., III. Ser. 50, No. 2, 489--512 (2015; Zbl 1347.54032)] are answered in this paper.
