A relation that is functional and total. For example, the red and green relations in the diagram are functions, but the blue and black ones are not. An injection [d] A function that is injective. For example, the green relation in the diagram is an injection, but the red, blue and black ones are not. A surjection [d] A function that is surjective.
Another form of composition of relations, which applies to general -place relations for , is the join operation of relational algebra. The usual composition of two binary relations as defined here can be obtained by taking their join, leading to a ternary relation, followed by a projection that removes the middle component.

In mathematics, orthogonal functions belong to a function space that is a vector space equipped with a bilinear form. When the function space has an interval as the domain , the bilinear form may be the integral of the product of functions over the interval:
This article lists mathematical properties and laws of sets, involving the set-theoretic operations of union, intersection, and complementation and the relations of set equality and set inclusion. It also provides systematic procedures for evaluating expressions, and performing calculations, involving these operations and relations.
David Rydeheard and Rod Burstall consider Rel to have objects that are homogeneous relations. For example, A is a set and R ⊆ A × A is a binary relation on A.The morphisms of this category are functions between sets that preserve a relation: Say S ⊆ B × B is a second relation and f: A → B is a function such that () (), then f is a morphism.
Thomae's function: is a function that is continuous at all irrational numbers and discontinuous at all rational numbers. It is also a modification of Dirichlet function and sometimes called Riemann function. Kronecker delta function: is a function of two variables, usually integers, which is 1 if they are equal, and 0 otherwise.
A difference equation of order k is an equation that involves the k first differences of a sequence or a function, in the same way as a differential equation of order k relates the k first derivatives of a function. The two above relations allow transforming a recurrence relation of order k into a difference equation of order k, and, conversely ...
