Introduction</title><p>As we all know, it is difficult to express some real problems using autonomous system, such as chemical problems, financial problems, biological problems, etc. Then, we need to study non-autonomous discrete systems. This research considers the following non-autonomous discrete dynamic system:</p><p>x n + 1 = h n ( x n ) ,   n ∈ ℤ + . (1)</p><p>where, h n : X → X is a continuous mapping sequence on compact metric space X with the metric d. ℤ + is the positive integer set. Denote h 1 , ∞ = { h n } n = 1 ∞ . The set-valued discrete dynamic system induced system (1) is expressed as</p><p>A n + 1 = h &#175; n ( A n ) ,   n ∈ ℤ + . (2)</p><p>where, h &#175; n : κ ( X ) → κ ( X ) is set-valued mapping sequence induced by h 1 , ∞ as h n ( A ) = { h n ( x ) | x ∈ A } . It is obvious that h &#175; n is continuous mapping sequence. κ ( X ) is the space of all non-empty compact subsets of X endowed with the Hausdorff metric H and the Hausdorff metric on κ ( X ) is defined by</p><p>H ( A , B ) = max { sup x ∈ A d ( x , B ) , sup y ∈ B d ( y , A ) }</p><p>For any A , B ∈ κ ( X ) .</p><p>According to [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.108106-ref1">1</xref>], ( κ ( X ) , H ) is a compact metric space if and only if ( X , h ) is a compact metric space. And by [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.108106-ref2">2</xref>], for x ∈ A , A ∈ κ ( X ) ,</p><p>B ( x , ε ) = { y ∈ X | d ( x , y ) &lt; ε } ,</p><p>B ( A , ε ) = { B ∈ κ ( X ) | H ( A , B ) &lt; ε } ,</p><p>e ( A ) = { K ∉ κ ( X ) | K ⊂ A } ,</p><p>it is clear that e ( A ) = ϕ if and only if A = ϕ .</p><p>Through the study of the mapping sequence h n , we understand how the points in the space X move. However, it is far from enough in demographics, species migration, chemical research and numerical simulation. Sometimes, it is needed to know the movement of a finite number of point in space X. For example, one often iterates at the same time finite points while applying the method of numerical evaluation to the investigation of a chaotic system ( X , h 1 , ∞ ) . At this time, any set of finite points in X is just an element of topological space κ ( X ) . Therefore, it is necessary for us to consider the set-valued mapping sequence h &#175; n related to a single mapping sequence h n . Since 2003, H. R. Flores [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.108106-ref2">2</xref>] has studied the transitivity of individual mapping and set-valued mapping and many scholars have begun to study the interactions of some properties between ( X , h ) and ( κ ( X ) , h &#175; ) . A. Fedeli [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.108106-ref3">3</xref>] showed that h &#175; is Devaney chaos, then h is Devaney chaos. Gu and Guo [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.108106-ref4">4</xref>] proved that strong mixing and mild mixing between h and h &#175; are equivalent, respectively. R. Gu [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.108106-ref5">5</xref>] investigated the relationships between Kato’s chaoticity of the dynamical system (1) and Kato’s chaoticity of the set-valued discrete system (2). J. L. G. Guirao [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.108106-ref6">6</xref>] considered distributional chaos, Li-Yoeke chaos, ω -chaos, Devaney chaos, topological chaos (positive topological entropy) between the dynamical system (1) and dynamical system (2). The other studies about chaotic properties of h and h &#175; in autnomous systems, please refer to the literature [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.108106-ref7">7</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.108106-ref8">8</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.108106-ref9">9</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.108106-ref10">10</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.108106-ref11">11</xref>]. In 2013, A. Khan [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.108106-ref12">12</xref>] has investigated transitivity sensitivity and topological mixing between a non-autonomous dynamical system and its set-valued extension. In 2017, Snchez [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.108106-ref13">13</xref>] studied the interactions of transitivity, weak mixing and density of periodic points between system (1) and system (2). It can be seen that there are few studies on individual chaos and set-valued chaos in non-autonomous discrete system, so it is necessary to study the chaotic relationship between h 1 , ∞ and h &#175; 1 , ∞ .</p><p>The structure of this paper is as follows. In Section 2, some basic definitions are given. In Section 3, the main results are established and proved.</p></sec><sec id="s2"><title>2.

Conclusion</title><p>In set-valued discrete dynamical systems, this paper studies the chaoticity in the sense of Furstenberg families. Some sufficient conditions of ( F 1 , F 2 ) -sensitive, F -sensitive, F -transitive, F -accessible, F -weakly mixing, F -m-sensitive, infinitely sensitive, or syndetically transitive are obtained. Based on the conclusions of this paper, there are some further research in set-valued discrete dynamical systems which are worthy of studying. For example, Li-Yorke chaos, Devaney chaos, positive entropy chaos, and others.</p></sec><sec id="s5"><title>Authors and Affiliations</title><p>The first author Xiaofang Yang, the author Yongxi Jiang have one affiliation, that is, Sichuan University of Science and Engineering.
