Let be a finite set, where Xt , t = 1, 2, . . . , T, are pairwise nonoverlapping sets, Nt = |Xt| be the cardinality of the set Xt, t = 0, 1, . . . , T. Let ℱ1 be the class of all mappings f of the set X′ = X \ X0 into X such that the image y = f (x) ∈ Xt−1Xt for any xXt , t = 1, . . . , T. The cardinality of the set of all mappings of the class ℱ1 is . With the use of non-homogeneous branching processes, we study some asymptotical properties of the uniformly distributed on ℱ1 random mapping f as Nt → ∞, t = 1, 2, . . . , T. Similar results are obtained for some other classes of random mappings f of the set X.
