Function Types. Study of Function Types

Functions have some properties that characterize them f: A→B.
Overjet function
Injector function
Bijector function
inverse function

Overjet function: a function is surjective if and only if its image set is specifically equal to the counterdomain, Im = B. For example, if we have a function f: Z→Z defined by y = x +1 it is surjective, since Im = Z.

Injector function: a function is injective if the distinct elements of the domain have distinct images. For example, given the function f: A→B, such that f(x) = 3x.

Bijector function: a function is bijective if it is both injecting and surjective. For example, the function f: A→B, such that f (x) = 5x + 4.

Note that it is injecting, as x1≠x2 implies f (x1) ≠f (x2)
It is surjective, because for every element in B there is at least one in A, such that f(x)=y.
inverse function: a function will be inverse if it is bijector. If f: A→B is considered bijector then it admits inverse f: B→A. For example, the function y = 3x-5 has inverse y = (x+5)/3.



We can establish the following diagram:

Note that the function has a relation of A→B and B→A, so we can say that it is inverse.
