The concepts of robustness of sets and mappings were proposed for the
theory of integral global optimization. This paper discusses the robus
tness of a set-valued mapping, associating with the stability problem.
We extend the equivalence between the robustness and the approximatab
ility to the case of a set-valued mapping. We deal also with ''bi-robu
stness'' and ''in-robustness.'' (C) 1994 Academic Press, Inc.
