Abstract
In this article, we introduce the notion of “metrically differentiable” for set-valued functions. By using this notion, it is shown that each Lipschitz set-valued function is differentiable almost everywhere. Its relationship to the differentiation in the sense of Hukuhara and its generalizations are also discussed.
