Let
X
be a topological space. For any positive integer
n
, we consider the
n
-fold symmetric product of
X
, ℱ
n
(
X
), consisting of all nonempty subsets of
X
with at most
n
points; and for a given function
ƒ
:
X
→
X
, we consider the induced functions ℱ
n
(
ƒ
): ℱ
n
(
X
) → ℱ
n
(
X
). Let
M
be one of the following classes of functions: exact, transitive, ℤ-transitive, ℤ
+
-transitive, mixing, weakly mixing, chaotic, turbulent, strongly transitive, totally transitive, orbit-transitive, strictly orbit-transitive, ω-transitive, minimal,
I N, T T
++
, semi-open and irreducible. In this paper we study the relationship between the following statements:
ƒ
∈
M
and ℱ
n
(
ƒ
) ∈
M
.
