  2. Function composition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_composition

    If an airplane's altitude at time t is a(t), and the air pressure at altitude x is p(x), then (p ∘ a)(t) is the pressure around the plane at time t. Function defined on finite sets which change the order of their elements such as permutations can be composed on the same set, this being composition of permutations.

  3. Composition operator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_operator

    The eigenvalue equation of the composition operator is Schröder's equation, and the principal eigenfunction is often called Schröder's function or Koenigs function. The composition operator has been used in data-driven techniques for dynamical systems in the context of dynamic mode decomposition algorithms, which approximate the modes and ...

  4. Category of sets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_of_sets

    The arrows or morphisms between sets A and B are the functions from A to B, and the composition of morphisms is the composition of functions. Many other categories (such as the category of groups, with group homomorphisms as arrows) add structure to the objects of the category of sets or restrict the arrows to functions of a particular kind (or ...

  5. Function composition (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_composition...

    In computer science, function composition is an act or mechanism to combine simple functions to build more complicated ones. Like the usual composition of functions in mathematics , the result of each function is passed as the argument of the next, and the result of the last one is the result of the whole.

  6. Closed-form expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed-form_expression

    The quadratic formula =. is a closed form of the solutions to the general quadratic equation + + =. More generally, in the context of polynomial equations, a closed form of a solution is a solution in radicals; that is, a closed-form expression for which the allowed functions are only n th-roots and field operations (+,,, /).

  7. List of types of functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_types_of_functions

    Composite function: is formed by the composition of two functions f and g, by mapping x to f (g(x)). Inverse function: is declared by "doing the reverse" of a given function (e.g. arcsine is the inverse of sine). Implicit function: defined implicitly by a relation between the argument(s) and the value.

  8. Surjective function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surjective_function

    A function f : X → Y is surjective if and only if it is right-cancellative: [8] given any functions g,h : Y → Z, whenever g o f = h o f, then g = h. This property is formulated in terms of functions and their composition and can be generalized to the more general notion of the morphisms of a category and their composition.

  9. Identity function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_function

    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
