  2. Inverse function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_function

    For example, the inverse of a cubic function with a local maximum and a local minimum has three branches (see the adjacent picture). The arcsine is a partial inverse of the sine function. These considerations are particularly important for defining the inverses of trigonometric functions. For example, the sine function is not one-to-one, since

  3. Inverse mapping theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_mapping_theorem

    In mathematics, inverse mapping theorem may refer to: the inverse function theorem on the existence of local inverses for functions with non-singular derivatives the bounded inverse theorem on the boundedness of the inverse for invertible bounded linear operators on Banach spaces

  4. Inverse function theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_function_theorem

    For functions of a single variable, the theorem states that if is a continuously differentiable function with nonzero derivative at the point ; then is injective (or bijective onto the image) in a neighborhood of , the inverse is continuously differentiable near = (), and the derivative of the inverse function at is the reciprocal of the derivative of at : ′ = ′ = ′ (()).

  5. Inversive geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversive_geometry

    P ' is the inverse of P with respect to the circle. To invert a number in arithmetic usually means to take its reciprocal. A closely related idea in geometry is that of "inverting" a point. In the plane, the inverse of a point P with respect to a reference circle (Ø) with center O and radius r is a point P ', lying on the ray from O through P ...

  6. Jacobian matrix and determinant - Wikipedia

    A nonlinear map : sends a small square (left, in red) to a distorted parallelogram (right, in red). The Jacobian at a point gives the best linear approximation of the distorted parallelogram near that point (right, in translucent white), and the Jacobian determinant gives the ratio of the area of the approximating parallelogram to that of the ...

  7. Inverse function rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_function_rule

    In calculus, the inverse function rule is a formula that expresses the derivative of the inverse of a bijective and differentiable function f in terms of the derivative of f. ...

  8. Involution (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Involution_(mathematics)

    Any involution is a bijection.. The identity map is a trivial example of an involution. Examples of nontrivial involutions include negation (x ↦ −x), reciprocation (x ↦ 1/x), and complex conjugation (z ↦ z) in arithmetic; reflection, half-turn rotation, and circle inversion in geometry; complementation in set theory; and reciprocal ciphers such as the ROT13 transformation and the ...

    For / one gets the inverse mapping defined by . In Euclidean geometry homotheties are the similarities that fix a point and either preserve (if k > 0 {\displaystyle k>0} ) or reverse (if k < 0 {\displaystyle k<0} ) the direction of all vectors.
