  2. Transitive relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transitive_relation

    In mathematics, a binary relation R on a set X is transitive if, for all elements a, b, c in X, whenever R relates a to b and b to c, then R also relates a to c. Every partial order and every equivalence relation is transitive. For example, less than and equality among real numbers are both transitive: If a < b and b < c then a < c; and if x ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_Symbolic_Calculator

    A user will input a number and the Calculator will use an algorithm to search for and calculate closed-form expressions or suitable functions that have roots near this number. Hence, the calculator is of great importance for those working in numerical areas of experimental mathematics. The ISC contains 54 million mathematical constants.

  4. Inverse function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_function

    If f(x)=y, then g(y)=x. The function g must equal the inverse of f on the image of f, but may take any values for elements of Y not in the image. A function f with nonempty domain is injective if and only if it has a left inverse. [21] An elementary proof runs as follows: If g is the left inverse of f, and f(x) = f(y), then g(f(x)) = g(f(y ...

  5. Inverse function rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_function_rule

    Assuming that has an inverse in a neighbourhood of and that its derivative at that point is non-zero, its inverse is guaranteed to be differentiable at and have a derivative given by the above formula. The inverse function rule may also be expressed in Leibniz's notation. As that notation suggests,

  6. Closure (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Given a subset X of an algebraic structure S, the closure of X is the smallest substructure of S that is closed under all operations of S. In the context of algebraic structures, this closure is generally called the substructure generated or spanned by X, and one says that X is a generating set of the substructure.

  7. Inverse function theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_function_theorem

    The inverse function theorem can also be generalized to differentiable maps between Banach spaces X and Y. [20] Let U be an open neighbourhood of the origin in X and F : U → Y {\displaystyle F:U\to Y\!} a continuously differentiable function, and assume that the Fréchet derivative d F 0 : XY {\displaystyle dF_{0}:X\to Y\!} of F at 0 is ...

  8. Involution (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    An involution is a function f : XX that, when applied twice, brings one back to the starting point. In mathematics, an involution, involutory function, or self-inverse function [1] is a function f that is its own inverse, f(f(x)) = x. for all x in the domain of f. [2] Equivalently, applying f twice produces the original value.

  9. Intransitivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intransitivity

    The first argument of the relation is a row and the second one is a column. Ones indicate the relation holds, zero indicates that it does not hold. Now, notice that the following statement is true for any pair of elements x and y drawn (with replacement) from the set {rock, scissors, paper}: If x defeats y, and y defeats z, then x does not ...
