The set of all bijective functions f: X → X (called permutations) forms a group with respect to function composition. This is the symmetric group , also sometimes called the composition group . In the symmetric semigroup (of all transformations) one also finds a weaker, non-unique notion of inverse (called a pseudoinverse) because the ...
