Inverse function

Set

context fXYinj
postulate f1f

Discussion

We have

im(f1)=dom(f)=X,

dom(f1)=im(f).

Injectiveness of f implies there is a left “left inverse” of the function: f1f=id.

Surjectiveness implies there is a “right inverse”, so for bijective functions the above line extens to

dom(f1)=im(f)=Y

and hence for f:XY, we can declare f1:YX.
