76-426: A not-a-number value which is returned when a floating point operation is undefined and exceptions are suppressed, e.g. when the square root of a negative number is requested. In a programming language where function parameters are statically typed , a function may be defined as a partial function because the language's type system cannot express the exact domain of the function, so the programmer instead gives it

114-400: A partition of the (disjoint) union of A and B . Hence it suffices to produce a bijection between the elements of A and B in each of the sequences separately, as follows: Call a sequence an A-stopper if it stops at an element of A , or a B-stopper if it stops at an element of B . Otherwise, call it doubly infinite if all the elements are distinct or cyclic if it repeats. See

152-414: A univalent relation . This generalizes the concept of a (total) function by not requiring every element of the first set to be associated to an element of the second set. A partial function is often used when its exact domain of definition is not known, or is difficult to specify. However, even when the exact domain of definition is known, partial functions are often used for simplicity or brevity. This

190-476: A conclusion through case analysis. As such, the above proof is not a constructive one. In fact, in a constructive set theory such as intuitionistic set theory I Z F {\displaystyle {\mathsf {IZF}}} , which adopts the full axiom of separation but dispenses with the principle of excluded middle, assuming the Schröder–Bernstein theorem implies the latter. In turn, there

228-402: A function since every element on the left-hand set is associated with exactly one element in the right hand set. Consider the natural logarithm function mapping the real numbers to themselves. The logarithm of a non-positive real is not a real number, so the natural logarithm function doesn't associate any real number in the codomain with any non-positive real number in the domain. Therefore,

266-430: A partial function is the subset S of X on which the partial function is defined; in this case, the partial function may also be viewed as a function from S to Y . In the example of the square root operation, the set S consists of the nonnegative real numbers [ 0 , + ∞ ) . {\displaystyle [0,+\infty ).} The notion of partial function is particularly convenient when

304-621: A partial function which is both injective and surjective has an injective function as inverse. Furthermore, a function which is injective may be inverted to a bijective partial function. The notion of transformation can be generalized to partial functions as well. A partial transformation is a function f : A ⇀ B , {\displaystyle f:A\rightharpoonup B,} where both A {\displaystyle A} and B {\displaystyle B} are subsets of some set X . {\displaystyle X.} For convenience, denote

342-526: Is a total function if and only if ob ⁡ ( C ) {\displaystyle \operatorname {ob} (C)} has one element. The reason for this is that two morphisms f : X → Y {\displaystyle f:X\to Y} and g : U → V {\displaystyle g:U\to V} can only be composed as g ∘ f {\displaystyle g\circ f} if Y = U , {\displaystyle Y=U,} that is,

380-565: Is attributed to Julius König . Assume without loss of generality that A and B are disjoint . For any a in A or b in B we can form a unique two-sided sequence of elements that are alternately in A and B , by repeatedly applying f {\displaystyle f} and g − 1 {\displaystyle g^{-1}} to go from A to B and g {\displaystyle g} and f − 1 {\displaystyle f^{-1}} to go from B to A (where defined;

418-565: Is in fact total. When arrow notation is used for functions, a partial function f {\displaystyle f} from X {\displaystyle X} to Y {\displaystyle Y} is sometimes written as f : X ⇀ Y , {\displaystyle f:X\rightharpoonup Y,} f : X ↛ Y , {\displaystyle f:X\nrightarrow Y,} or f : X ↪ Y . {\displaystyle f:X\hookrightarrow Y.} However, there

456-403: Is no general convention, and the latter notation is more commonly used for inclusion maps or embeddings . Specifically, for a partial function f : X ⇀ Y , {\displaystyle f:X\rightharpoonup Y,} and any x ∈ X , {\displaystyle x\in X,} one has either: For example, if f {\displaystyle f}

494-440: Is no proof of König's conclusion in this or weaker constructive theories. Therefore, intuitionists do not accept the statement of the Schröder–Bernstein theorem. There is also a proof which uses Tarski's fixed point theorem . Partial function In mathematics , a partial function f from a set X to a set Y is a function from a subset S of X (possibly the whole X itself) to Y . The subset S , that is,

532-411: Is not defined. By the fact that f {\displaystyle f} and g {\displaystyle g} are injective functions, each a in A and b in B is in exactly one such sequence to within identity: if an element occurs in two sequences, all elements to the left and to the right must be the same in both, by the definition of the sequences. Therefore, the sequences form

570-438: Is said to be injective , surjective , or bijective when the function given by the restriction of the partial function to its domain of definition is injective, surjective, bijective respectively. Because a function is trivially surjective when restricted to its image, the term partial bijection denotes a partial function which is injective. An injective partial function may be inverted to an injective partial function, and

608-493: Is the square root function restricted to the integers then f ( n ) {\displaystyle f(n)} is only defined if n {\displaystyle n} is a perfect square (that is, 0 , 1 , 4 , 9 , 16 , … {\displaystyle 0,1,4,9,16,\ldots } ). So f ( 25 ) = 5 {\displaystyle f(25)=5} but f ( 26 ) {\displaystyle f(26)}

646-443: Is the case in calculus , where, for example, the quotient of two functions is a partial function whose domain of definition cannot contain the zeros of the denominator; in this context, a partial function is generally simply called a function . In computability theory , a general recursive function is a partial function from the integers to the integers; no algorithm can exist for deciding whether an arbitrary such function

684-432: Is the non-negative integers ) is a partial function: It is defined only when x ≥ y . {\displaystyle x\geq y.} In denotational semantics a partial function is considered as returning the bottom element when it is undefined. In computer science a partial function corresponds to a subroutine that raises an exception or loops forever. The IEEE floating point standard defines

722-599: Is the only proper partial operation (because division by zero is not defined). The set of all partial functions (partial transformations ) on a given base set, X , {\displaystyle X,} forms a regular semigroup called the semigroup of all partial transformations (or the partial transformation semigroup on X {\displaystyle X} ), typically denoted by P T X . {\displaystyle {\mathcal {PT}}_{X}.} The set of all partial bijections on X {\displaystyle X} forms

760-555: Is undefined. A partial function arises from the consideration of maps between two sets X and Y that may not be defined on the entire set X . A common example is the square root operation on the real numbers R {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} } : because negative real numbers do not have real square roots, the operation can be viewed as a partial function from R {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} } to R . {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} .} The domain of definition of

798-402: The domain of f viewed as a function, is called the domain of definition or natural domain of f . If S equals X , that is, if f is defined on every element in X , then f is said to be a total function . More technically, a partial function is a binary relation over two sets that associates to every element of the first set at most one element of the second set; it is thus

836-616: The cardinality of the two sets, this classically implies that if | A | ≤ | B | and | B | ≤ | A | , then | A | = | B | ; that is, A and B are equipotent . This is a useful feature in the ordering of cardinal numbers . The theorem is named after Felix Bernstein and Ernst Schröder . It is also known as the Cantor–Bernstein theorem or Cantor–Schröder–Bernstein theorem , after Georg Cantor , who first published it (albeit without proof). The following proof

874-415: The symmetric inverse semigroup . Charts in the atlases which specify the structure of manifolds and fiber bundles are partial functions. In the case of manifolds, the domain is the point set of the manifold. In the case of fiber bundles, the domain is the space of the fiber bundle. In these applications, the most important construction is the transition map , which is the composite of one chart with

912-416: The codomain is Y ∪ { c } , {\displaystyle Y\cup \{c\},} an operation which is injective (unique and invertible by restriction). The first diagram at the top of the article represents a partial function that is not a function since the element 1 in the left-hand set is not associated with anything in the right-hand set. Whereas, the second diagram represents

950-402: The codomain of f {\displaystyle f} must equal the domain of g . {\displaystyle g.} The category of sets and partial functions is equivalent to but not isomorphic with the category of pointed sets and point-preserving maps. One textbook notes that "This formal completion of sets and partial maps by adding “improper,” “infinite” elements

988-447: The exact domain of definition is unknown or even unknowable. For a computer-science example of the latter, see Halting problem . In case the domain of definition S is equal to the whole set X , the partial function is said to be total . Thus, total partial functions from X to Y coincide with functions from X to Y . Many properties of functions can be extended in an appropriate sense of partial functions. A partial function

1026-414: The injections h and k . The traditional name "Schröder–Bernstein" is based on two proofs published independently in 1898. Cantor is often added because he first stated the theorem in 1887, while Schröder's name is often omitted because his proof turned out to be flawed while the name of Richard Dedekind , who first proved it, is not connected with the theorem. According to Bernstein, Cantor had suggested

1064-436: The inverse image of each point in B {\displaystyle B} . The surjectivity of f {\displaystyle f} guarantees the existence of at least one element in each such inverse image. We do the same to obtain an injective function k  : A → B from g − 1 {\displaystyle g^{-1}} . The Schroeder-Bernstein theorem then can be applied to

1102-450: The inverses f − 1 {\displaystyle f^{-1}} and g − 1 {\displaystyle g^{-1}} are understood as partial functions .) For any particular a , this sequence may terminate to the left or not, at a point where f − 1 {\displaystyle f^{-1}} or g − 1 {\displaystyle g^{-1}}

1140-403: The latter also written as ⋃ D ⊆ X Y D . {\textstyle \bigcup _{D\subseteq {X}}Y^{D}.} In finite case, its cardinality is because any partial function can be extended to a function by any fixed value c {\displaystyle c} not contained in Y , {\displaystyle Y,} so that

1216-544: The name equivalence theorem (Äquivalenzsatz). Both proofs of Dedekind are based on his famous 1888 memoir Was sind und was sollen die Zahlen? and derive it as a corollary of a proposition equivalent to statement C in Cantor's paper, which reads A ⊆ B ⊆ C and | A | = | C | implies | A | = | B | = | C | . Cantor observed this property as early as 1882/83 during his studies in set theory and transfinite numbers and

1254-446: The natural logarithm function is not a function when viewed as a function from the reals to themselves, but it is a partial function. If the domain is restricted to only include the positive reals (that is, if the natural logarithm function is viewed as a function from the positive reals to the reals), then the natural logarithm is a function. Subtraction of natural numbers (in which N {\displaystyle \mathbb {N} }

1292-411: The picture for examples. If we assume the axiom of choice, then a pair of surjective functions f {\displaystyle f} and g {\displaystyle g} also implies the existence of a bijection. We construct an injective function h  : B → A from f − 1 {\displaystyle f^{-1}} by picking a single element from

1368-466: The smallest domain which is expressible as a type and contains the domain of definition of the function. In category theory , when considering the operation of morphism composition in concrete categories , the composition operation ∘ : hom ⁡ ( C ) × hom ⁡ ( C ) → hom ⁡ ( C ) {\displaystyle \circ \;:\;\hom(C)\times \hom(C)\to \hom(C)}

1406-405: Was reinvented many times, in particular, in topology ( one-point compactification ) and in theoretical computer science ." The category of sets and partial bijections is equivalent to its dual . It is the prototypical inverse category . Partial algebra generalizes the notion of universal algebra to partial operations . An example would be a field , in which the multiplicative inversion

1444-404: Was therefore (implicitly) relying on the axiom of choice . The 1895 proof by Cantor relied, in effect, on the axiom of choice by inferring the result as a corollary of the well-ordering theorem . However, König's proof given above shows that the result can also be proved without using the axiom of choice. On the other hand, König's proof uses the principle of excluded middle to draw
