A \textit{function} or \textit{map} $f$ from a set $A$ to a set $B$ is a rule that assigns an element of $B$ to each element of $A$. We write this as $f: A \to B$.
|
|
|

Let $L = \{\texttt{a}, \texttt{b}, \texttt{c}, \texttt{d}, ..., \texttt{z}\}$ be the set of lowercase english letters. \par
|
|
Let $C = \{\texttt{A}, \texttt{B}, \texttt{C}, \texttt{D}, ..., \texttt{Z}\}$ be the set of uppercase english letters. \par
|
|
|
|
\vspace{1mm}
|
|
|
|
Say we have a function $g: L \to C$ that capitalizes english letters. \par
|
|
We can think of this function as a \textit{map} from $A$ to $B$, shown below using arrows:

We say a map $f$ is \textit{one-to-one} if $a = b$ implies $f(a) = f(b)$ for all $a, b \in A$. \par
|
|
In other words, this means that no two elements of $A$ are mapped to the same $b$:

\generic{Remark:}
|
|
The words \say{function} and \say{map} are two views of the same mathematical object. We usually think of functions as \say{machines} that take an input, change it, and produce an output. We think of maps as \say{rules} that match each element of a set $A$ to an element of a set $B$.
|
|
|
|
\vspace{2mm}
|
|
|
|
Again, functions and maps are \textit{identical}. They do the same thing. The only difference between \say{functions} and \say{maps} is how we think about them.

\definition{Invertible Functions}
|
|
A function $g$ is an \textit{inverse} of a function $f$ if $g(f(x)) = x$ for any $x$. \par
|
|
In other words, the function $g$ \say{undoes} $f$. Usually, the inverse of a function $f$ is written $f^{-1}$. \par
|
|
We say a function is \textit{invertible} if it has an inverse.
|
|
|
|
\vspace{2mm}
|
|
|
|
Intuitively, we could say that the inverse of $f$ reverses the \say{arrows} of $f$.

Is the following function invertible? \par

\definition{Bijections}

One-to-one maps are also called \textit{injective} maps. \par

Onto maps are also called \textit{surjective} maps.

|
|
|
|
If a function is both one-to-one and onto, we say it is a \textit{bijection}.

|
|
\theorem{}

All bijective functions are invertible. All invertible functions are bijections. \par

You should review the problems on the previous page and convince yourself that this is true.

|
|
\problem{}
|
|
We say a set $S$ is \textit{finite} if there exists a bijection from $S$ to $\{1, 2, 3, ..., n\}$ for some integer $n$.\par
|
|
Convince yourself that this definition of \say{finite-ness} is the same as the one in \ref{infiniteset}.

|
|
\problem{}

Is there a bijection between the sets $\{1, 2, 3\}$ and $\{\texttt{A}, \texttt{B}, \texttt{C}\}$? \par

Is there a bijection between the sets $\{1, 2, 3, 4\}$ and $\{\texttt{A}, \texttt{B}, \texttt{C}\}$? \par

If a bijection exists, find one; if one doesn't, prove it. \par

\problem{}<samesize>
|
|
Let $A$ and $B$ be two sets of different sizes. \par
|

Show that no bijection between $A$ and $B$ exists.
|
|
\vfill
|
|
|
|
|
|
\ref{samesize} reveals a very important fact: if we can find a bijection between two sets $A$ and $B$, these sets must have the same number of elements. Similarly, if we know that a bijection doesn't exist, we know that $A$ and $B$ must have a different number of elements.
|
|
|
|
\vspace{2mm}
|
|
|
|
Intuitively, you can think of a bijection as a \say{matching} between elements of $A$ and $B$. If we were to draw a bijection, we'd see an arrow connecting every element in $A$ to every element in $B$. If a bijection exists, every element of $A$ directly corresponds to an element of $B$, therefore $A$ and $B$ must have the same number of elements.
