The conditions of continuity of the implicit set-valued map and the inverse setvalued map acting in topological spaces are proposed. For given mappings f : T ×X → Y , y : T → Y , where T,X,Y are topological spaces, the space Y is Hausdorff, the equation f(t,x) = y(t) with the parameter t ∈ T relative to the unknown x ∈ X is considered. It is assumed that for some multi-valued map U : T ⇉ X for all t ∈ T the inclusion f(t,U(t)) ∋ y(t) is satisfied. An implicit mapping R U : T ⇉ X , which associates with each value of the parameter t ∈ T the set of solutions x(t) ∈ U(t) of this equation. It is proved that R U is upper semicontinuous at the point t 0 ∈ T , if the following conditions are satisfied: for any x ∈ X the map f is continuous at ( t 0 ,x) , the map y is continuous at t 0 , a multi-valued map U is upper semicontinuous at the point t 0 and the set U( t 0 ) ⊂ X is compact. If, in addition, with the value of the parameter t 0 , the solution to the equation is unique, then the map R U is continuous at t 0 and any section of this map is also continuous at t 0 . The listed results are applied to the study of a multi-valued inverse mapping. Namely, for a given map g : X → T we consider the equation g(x) = y with respect to the unknown x ∈ X . We obtain conditions for upper semicontinuity and continuity of the map V U : T ⇉ X , V U (t) = {x ∈ U(t) : g(x) = t} , t ∈ T .
