In this paper we define and study the topological entropy of a setvalued dynamical system. Actually, we obtain two entropies based on separated and spanning sets. Some properties of these entropies resembling the singlevalued case will be obtained.
We propose a definition of topological stability for set-valued maps. We prove that a single-valued map which is topologically stable in the setvalued sense is topologically stable in the classical sense [14]. Next, we prove that every upper semicontinuous closed-valued map which is positively expansive [15] and satisfies the positive pseudo-orbit tracing property [9] is topologically stable. Finally, we prove that every topologically stable set-valued map of a compact metric space has the positive pseudo-orbit tracing property and the periodic points are dense in the nonwandering set. These results extend the classical single-valued ones in [1] and [14].
