M: Basic facts about composition and inverses of relations. Functions.
5.9. Proposition.
(a) (R-1)-1 = R
(b) R-1
o R contains iddom(R) and R o R-1
contains idrng(R)
(c) (T o S)
o R = T o (S o R)
(d) (S o R)-1
= R-1 o S-1
5.10. Definition.
Function. Function from A to B, f : A --> B.
PROBLEMS FOR DISCUSSIONS:
No new problems. Complete the previously assigned problems.
W: Remarks concerning functions. Injectivity, surjectivity, bijectivity.
Sequences.
5.11. Definition.
Injectivity, surjectivity, bijectivity.
5.12. Definition.
Sequences of length n, infinite sequences.
PROBLEMS FOR DISCUSSIONS:
* Book, p.156 Exercise 4, 6 , 8, 9, 11
* Prove: (a) composition of two injective functions is
ijnective
(b)
composition of two surjective functions is surjective
(c)
composition of two bijective functions is bijective
(d)
if f : A --> B is bijective then f-1: B --> A is bijective
* Book, p. 161 Exercise 23, 24
F: Examples on maps/injectivity/surjectivity. Motivation for the
notion of equinumerosity.
5.13. Proposition.
f-1 is a function iff f is injective; dom(f-1)=rng(f).
5.14. Examples.
(a) f: Z × Z --> Z defined by f(<a,b>) = g.c.d.(a,b)
(b) f: P(A) --> P(A) defined
by f(X) = A -X .
Proof that A has
the same number of even and odd subsets.
PROBLEMS FOR DISCUSSIONS:
No new problems. Finish all old problems.
