We show that the projective plane (resp. the 2-sphere S2) has the Wecken property for n-valued maps for all n ∈N (resp. all n ≥ 3). In the case n = 2 and S2, we prove a partial result about the Wecken property. We then describe the Nielsen number of a non-split n-valued map φ : X → X of an orientable, compact manifold without boundary in terms of the Nielsen coincidence numbers of a certain finite covering q: )→ X with a subset of the coordinate maps of a lift of the n-valued split map → q : →X.展开更多

Reidemeister classes and the Nielsen number are computed, and it is shown that any given pair of maps satisfies the Wecken property. The 1-parameter Wecken property is studied and a partial negative answer is derived. That is for all pairs of coincidence free maps a countable family of pairs of maps in the homotopy class is constructed such that no two members may be joined by a coincidence free homotopy.展开更多
