AI Thread Summary
The function ${2}^{n}(2n+1)-1$ is proposed for proof of invertibility from $\Bbb{N} \times \Bbb{N}$ to $\Bbb{N}$. To establish invertibility, the function must be shown to be both injective and surjective. A participant suggests that the function may need two distinct variables for clarity, possibly indicating a typographical error in the original formulation. The discussion emphasizes the importance of correctly interpreting the function's variables to proceed with the proof. Clarification on the function's structure is essential for further analysis.

prove that the function

${2}^{n}.(2n+1)-1 $ from $ \Bbb{N}$x$\Bbb{N}\implies\Bbb{N}$
is invertible

I know that a function to be invertible must be injective and surjective, I am not sure how to calculate this since in this case I need a pair (x,y) since the function comes from $ {\Bbb{N}}^{2}$.

Can anyone help me ? thanks

Hi Nath, and welcome to MHB!

I think you need to double-check that you have read the question correctly. It only makes sense if there are two different variables in the function, perhaps ${2}^{\color{red}m}.(2n+1)-1 $.
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
