Abstract
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).
