  2. Identity function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_function

    In mathematics, an identity function, also called an identity relation, identity map or identity transformation, is a function that always returns the value that was used as its argument, unchanged. That is, when f is the identity function, the equality f ( x ) = x is true for all values of x to which f can be applied.

  3. Identity map pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_map_pattern

    In the design of DBMS, the identity map pattern is a database access design pattern used to improve performance by providing a context-specific, in-memory cache to prevent duplicate retrieval of the same object data from the database.

  4. Morphism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morphism

    Identity For every object X, there exists a morphism id X : X → X called the identity morphism on X, such that for every morphism f : A → B we have id B ∘ f = f = f ∘ id A. Associativity h ∘ (g ∘ f) = (h ∘ g) ∘ f whenever all the compositions are defined, i.e. when the target of f is the source of g, and the target of g is the ...

  5. Involution (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Involution_(mathematics)

    Any involution is a bijection.. The identity map is a trivial example of an involution. Examples of nontrivial involutions include negation (x ↦ −x), reciprocation (x ↦ 1/x), and complex conjugation (z ↦ z) in arithmetic; reflection, half-turn rotation, and circle inversion in geometry; complementation in set theory; and reciprocal ciphers such as the ROT13 transformation and the ...

  6. Quasiconformal mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasiconformal_mapping

    Hence the identity map is always 1-quasiconformal. If f : D → D′ is K-quasiconformal and g : D′ → D′′ is K′-quasiconformal, then g o f is KK′-quasiconformal. The inverse of a K-quasiconformal homeomorphism is K-quasiconformal. The set of 1-quasiconformal maps forms a group under composition.

  7. Homotopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homotopy

    Given two topological spaces X and Y, a homotopy equivalence between X and Y is a pair of continuous maps f : X → Y and g : Y → X, such that g ∘ f is homotopic to the identity map id X and f ∘ g is homotopic to id Y. If such a pair exists, then X and Y are said to be homotopy equivalent, or of the same homotopy type.

  8. Homomorphism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homomorphism

    In particular, when an identity element is required by the type of structure, the identity element of the first structure must be mapped to the corresponding identity element of the second structure. For example: A semigroup homomorphism is a map between semigroups that preserves the semigroup operation.

  9. Constant sheaf - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant_sheaf

    In mathematics, the constant sheaf on a topological space associated to a set is a sheaf of sets on whose stalks are all equal to .It is denoted by _ or .The constant presheaf with value is the presheaf that assigns to each open subset of the value , and all of whose restriction maps are the identity map .
