  2. Relation (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    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.

  3. Finitary relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finitary_relation

    A relation with n "places" is variously called an n-ary relation, an n-adic relation or a relation of degree n. Relations with a finite number of places are called finitary relations (or simply relations if the context is clear). It is also possible to generalize the concept to infinitary relations with infinite sequences. [4]

  4. Transitive relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transitive_relation

    For example, the relation defined by xRy if xy is an even number is intransitive, [13] but not antitransitive. [14] The relation defined by xRy if x is even and y is odd is both transitive and antitransitive. [15] The relation defined by xRy if x is the successor number of y is both intransitive [16] and antitransitive. [17]

  5. Identity function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_function

    In mathematics, an identity function, also called an identity relation, identity map or identity transformation, is a function that always returns the value that was used as its argument, unchanged. That is, when f is the identity function, the equality f ( x ) = x is true for all values of x to which f can be applied.

  6. Binary relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_relation

    For example, the red and green binary relations in the diagram are functions, but the blue and black ones are not. An injection: a function that is injective. For example, the green relation in the diagram is an injection, but the red one is not; the black and the blue relation is not even a function. A surjection: a function that is surjective ...

  7. Reflexive relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflexive_relation

    An example of a left quasi-reflexive relation is a left Euclidean relation, which is always left quasi-reflexive but not necessarily right quasi-reflexive, and thus not necessarily quasi-reflexive. An example of a coreflexive relation is the relation on integers in which each odd number is related to itself and there are no other relations. The ...

  8. Function (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Functional programming is the programming paradigm consisting of building programs by using only subroutines that behave like mathematical functions. For example, if_then_else is a function that takes three functions as arguments, and, depending on the result of the first function (true or false), returns the result of either the second or the ...

  9. Converse relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Converse_relation

    A function is invertible if and only if its converse relation is a function, in which case the converse relation is the inverse function. The converse relation of a function f : X → Y {\displaystyle f:X\to Y} is the relation f − 1 ⊆ Y × X {\displaystyle f^{-1}\subseteq Y\times X} defined by the graph f − 1 = { ( y , x ) ∈ Y × X : y ...
