[For the entire collection see Zbl 0731.00015.] Let \((X,A)\), \((Y,B)\) be pairs of Hausdorff spaces. A pair \((p,q)\) of continuous maps is said to belong to \(D((X,A),(Y,B))\) if there is a pair \((W,T)\) of spaces such that \(p: (W,T)\to (X;A)\), \(q: (W,T)\to(Y,B)\) and such that \(p: W\to X\) is perfect and surjective, \(p^{-1}(A)=T\), and \(p^{-1}(\{x\})\) is acyclic for each \(x\in X\). Two such pairs \((p,q)\), \((p',q')\) are said to be equivalent if there is a homeomorphism \(h: (p^{-1}(X),p^{-1}(A))\to(p'{}^{-1}(X),p'{}^{-1}(A))\) such that \(p'\circ h=p\), \(q'\circ h=q\). The equivalence classes are called morphisms. Morphisms form a convenient setting for the theory of set- valued mappings (of the form \(q\circ q^{-1}\)) and coincidence problems. The authors review their previous work on degree theory and the Lefschetz coincidence theorem and obtain some new results on the asymptotic theory of morphisms.
