In mathematics, an injective function (also known as injection, or one-to-one function ) is a function f that maps distinct elements of its domain to...

g\circ f} is injective, then it can only be concluded that f {\displaystyle f} is injective (see figure). Every embedding is injective. A function is surjective...

partial function which is injective. An injective partial function may be inverted to an injective partial function, and a partial function which is...

be unique; the function f may map one or more elements of X to the same element of Y. The term surjective and the related terms injective and bijective...

continuously differentiable function to be (among other things) locally injective. Every fiber of a locally injective function f : X → Y {\displaystyle f:X\to...

g(y)=g(f(h(y))=h(y)} . A function has a two-sided inverse if and only if it is bijective. A bijective function f is injective, so it has a left inverse...

element x in the domain X. The identity function on X is clearly an injective function as well as a surjective function (its codomain is also its range), so...

natural numbers. Equivalently, a set is countable if there exists an injective function from it into the natural numbers; this means that each element in...

function f itself need not be injective, only its derivative must be. A related concept is that of an embedding. A smooth embedding is an injective immersion...

A to B that is not injective, then no surjection from A to B is injective. In fact no function of any kind from A to B is injective. This is not true for...

equivalent to counting injective functions N → X. Counting n-combinations of X is equivalent to counting injective functions N → X up to permutations...

analysis, a holomorphic function on an open subset of the complex plane is called univalent if it is injective. The function f : z ↦ 2 z + z 2 {\displaystyle...

has the division by two as its inverse function. A function is bijective if and only if it is both injective (or one-to-one)—meaning that each element...

Monomorphisms are a categorical generalization of injective functions (also called "one-to-one functions"); in some categories the notions coincide, but...

element. An empty function is always injective. If X is not the empty set, then f is injective if and only if there exists a function g : Y → X {\displaystyle...

space, is a local homeomorphism that is injective on A {\displaystyle A} , then f {\displaystyle f} is injective on some neighborhood of A {\displaystyle...

defined by g(n) = 4n is injective, but not surjective, and h from N to E, defined by h(n) = n - (n mod 2) is surjective, but not injective. Neither g nor h can...

an injective function. Perfect hash functions may be used to implement a lookup table with constant worst-case access time. A perfect hash function can...

functions. A bi-Lipschitz function is a Lipschitz function φ : U → Rn which is injective and whose inverse function φ−1 : φ(U) → U is also Lipschitz. By Rademacher's...

the pigeonhole principle, which states that there cannot exist an injective function from a larger finite set to a smaller finite set. Formally, a set...

if and only if any of the following conditions hold: There is no injective function (hence no bijection) from X to the set of natural numbers. X is nonempty...

is a specific type of function. These properties concern the domain, the codomain and the image of functions. Injective function: has a distinct value...

unpaired elements. An injective function is called an injection, a surjective function is called a surjection, and a bijective function is called a bijection...

use this hooked arrow for any embedding.) This and other analogous injective functions from substructures are sometimes called natural injections. Given...
