Injective Definition and 92 Threads

My attempt: ## ( \rightarrow ) ## Suppose G is injective. Let ## y \in Y ## be arbitrary, denote A = ## \{ y \} ## so that ## G(A) = G(\{ y \}) = f^{-1}[\{ y \}] = \{ x \in X | f(x) \in \{ y \} \} =\{ x \in X | f(x)= y \} ##. [ However, now I am stuck because I don't know if ## G(A)=...

Definition: Let ##G## be a graph. ##G## is a functional graph if and only if ##(x_1,y_1) \in G## and ##(x_1,y_2) \in G## implies ##y_1=y_2##. Problem statement, as written: Let ##G## be a functional graph. Prove that ##G## is injective if and only if for arbitrary graphs ##J## and ##H##, ##G...

My only qualm is that the statement “Let G be a functional graph” never came into play in my proof, although I believe it to be otherwise consistent. Can someone take a look and let me know if I missed something, please? Or is there another reason to include that piece of information?

I typed this up in Overleaf using MathJax. I'm self-studying so I just want to make sure I'm understanding each concept. For clarification, the notation f^{-1}(x) is referring to the inverse image of the function. I think everything else is pretty straight-forward from how I've written it. Thank...

Hello, Let f: ]1, +inf[ → ]0, +inf[ be defined by f(x)=x^2 +2x +1. I am trying to prove f is injective. Let a,b be in ]1, +inf[ and suppose f(a) = f(b). Then, a^2 + 2a + 1 = b^2 + 2b + 1. How do I solve this equation such that I end up with a = b? Solution: (a + 1) ^2 = (b + 1)^2...

I'm using the notation T* to indicate the adjoint of T. I got as far as to say that if T is injective, then T* is surjective. But I don't know how to show that T*T is invertible. Showing that T*T is surjective or injective would imply invertibility, but I'm not sure how to do that either. I...

Homework Statement Find the useful denial of a injective function and a surjective function. Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution I know a one to one function is (∀x1,x2 ∈ X)(x1≠x2 ⇒ f(x1) ≠ f(x2)). So would the useful denial be (∃x1,x2 ∈ X)(x1 ≠ x2 ∧ f(x1) = f(x2))? I know a onto...

Homework Statement Find, with justification, an injective group homomorphism from ##D_{2n}## into ##S_n##. Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution So I'm thinking that the idea is to map ##r## and ##s## to elements in ##S_n## that obey the same relations that r and s satisfy. I can see how...

Let's suppose that I have an element ##e## of order ##p## in the group of complex numbers whose elements all have order ##p^n## for some ##n\in\mathbb{N}## (henceforth called ##K##), and the module generated by ##(e)## is irreducible. How do I show that the injective hull of the module...

I'm reading a pdf where it's said that the function ##f: \mathbb R \longrightarrow \mathbb{R}^2## given by ##f(x) = \langle \sin (2 \pi x), \cos ( 2 \pi x) \rangle## is not one-to-one, because ##f(x+1) = f(x)##. This is pretty obvious to me. What I don't understand is that next they say that the...

Hi, I found in Kreyszig that if for any ##x_1\ and\ x_2\ \in \mathscr{D}(T)## then an injective operator gives: ##x_1 \ne x_2 \rightarrow Tx_1 \ne Tx_2 ## and ##x_1 = x_2 \rightarrow Tx_1 = Tx_2 ##If one has an operator T, is there an inequality or equality one can deduce from this, in...

Let T be linear transformation from V to W. I know how to prove the result that nullity(T) = 0 if and only if T is an injective linear transformation. Sketch of proof: If nullity(T) = 0, then ker(T) = {0}. So T(x) = T(y) --> T(x) - T(y) = 0 --> T(x-y) = 0 --> x-y = 0 --> x = y, which shows that...

Hi, I've been trying to find one symmetric "injective" N²->N function, but could not find any. The quotes are there because the function I'm trying to find is not really injective, as I need that the two arguments be interchangeable and the value remains the same. In other words, the tuple (a...

Hello all, Can anyone give me a pointer on how to start this proof?: f:E\rightarrow F we consider f^{-1} as a function from P(F) to P(E). Show f^(-1) is injective iff f is surjective.

Is an injective endomorphism necessarily surjective? And it is also true the opposite?

Hello MHB. I am sorry that I haven't been able to take part in discussions lately because I have been really busy. I am having trouble with a question. In a past year paper of an exam I am preparing for it read: Let $f: (a,b)\to \mathbb R$ be a differentiable function with $f'(x)\neq 0$ for...

Homework Statement Show that if f: A → B is injective and E is a subset of A, then f −1(f(E) = E Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution Let x be in E. This implies that f(x) is in f(E). Since f is injective, it has an inverse. Applying the inverse function we see that...

Hello, I'm not sure if this should go under the HW/CW section, since it's not really a homework question, just a curiosity about certain kinds of functions. My specific question is this: If M: U→V is injective and dim(U)=dim(V), does that imply that M is surjective (and therefore...
