A function is bijective if it is both injective and surjective. A bijective function is also called a bijection or a one-to-one correspondence (not to be confused with one-to-one function, which refers to injection). A function is bijective if and only if every possible image is mapped to by exactly one argument. [1]
Functions which satisfy property (4) are said to be "one-to-one functions" and are called injections (or injective functions). [2] With this terminology, a bijection is a function which is both a surjection and an injection, or using other words, a bijection is a function which is both "one-to-one" and "onto". [3]
The function f : R → R defined by f(x) = x 3 − 3x is surjective, because the pre-image of any real number y is the solution set of the cubic polynomial equation x 3 − 3x − y = 0, and every cubic polynomial with real coefficients has at least one real root. However, this function is not injective (and hence not bijective), since, for ...
The fixed point iteration x n+1 = cos x n with initial value x 1 = −1.. An attracting fixed point of a function f is a fixed point x fix of f with a neighborhood U of "close enough" points around x fix such that for any value of x in U, the fixed-point iteration sequence , (), (()), ((())), … is contained in U and converges to x fix.
If f : X → Y is any function, then f ∘ id X = f = id Y ∘ f, where "∘" denotes function composition. [4] In particular, id X is the identity element of the monoid of all functions from X to X (under function composition). Since the identity element of a monoid is unique, [5] one can alternately define the identity function on M to

Disappointed with the outcome and felt we were one of the 12 best teams in the country. We had an extremely challenging schedule and recognize there were two games in particular that we did not ...
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 : ′ = ′ = ′ (()).
