A relaxation of the notion of invariant set, known as $k$-quasi-invariant set, has appeared several times in the literature in relation to group dynamics. The results obtained in this context depend on the fact that the dynamic is generated by a group. In our work, we consider the notions of invariant and 1-internally-quasi-invariant sets as applied to an action of a function $f$ on a set $I$. We answer several questions of the following type, where $k \in \{0,1\}$: what are the functions $f$ for which every finite subset of $I$ is internally-$k$-quasi-invariant? More restrictively, if $I = \mathbb{N}$, what are the functions $f$ for which every finite interval of $I$ is internally-$k$-quasi-invariant? Last, what are the functions $f$ for which every finite subset of $I$ admits a finite internally-$k$-quasi-invariant superset? This parallels a similar investigation undertaken by C. E. Praeger in the context of group actions.
