Streszczenie
Some easily verifiable sufficient conditions for the nonexistence of iterative roots for multifunctions on arbitrary nonempty sets are presented. Typically if the graph of the multifunction has a distinguished point with a relatively large number of paths leading to it then such a multifunction does not admit any iterative root. These results can be applied to single-valued maps by considering their pullbacks as multifunctions. This is illustrated by showing the nonexistence of iterative roots of some specified orders for certain complex polynomials.
