I am a 9th grader self-studying about set theory and functions. I understood most basic concepts, but I didn't understand what is a surjective function. I have understood what is an injective funct...

I hope you're good and healthy man, it's been 8 years since you used stackexchange so hope you are well and happy!

Jun 16, 2017 · is surjective and seems to contain the same information as f f. But wait, is it really the same? Of course both functions f f and f~ f have exactly the same output when applied to an element …

Nov 22, 2017 · To show a function is surjective, for any element in the codomain we have to show their is an element in the domain that maps to it. Is there an natural number that when we cube it we get …

Jan 4, 2021 · Can you explain if the inverse of a bijective function is always a bijection, and the same for the inverses of a surjection and injection (i.e. is the inverse of a surjective function always surjec...

I have the same feeling as yours: often, proving that a linear map is injective is easier than proving it is surjective. Of course we are talking about infinite-dimensional vector spaces, otherwise the two are …

For one, you can talk about a function being surjective if the domain and codomain are simply sets, but you cannot talk about a function being continuous unless the domain and codomain are topological …

What are usual symbols for surjective, injective and bijective functions? I think in one of Lang's book I saw an arrow with 1:1 e.g. A−→1:1 B A → 1: 1 B above it to be understood as a bijective function , …

Sep 11, 2024 · Surjective functions need not possess simply defined inverses, but if you can write down an inverse function that is defined on the entire codomain, then of course the function is surjective. I …
