Functions Defined on General Sets

We have already defined a function as

a certain type of relation. The following is a restatement of the definition of function that includes additional terminology associated with the concept.

Arrow Diagrams

We have known that if X and Y are finite

sets, you can define a function f from X to Y by drawing an arrow diagram.
You make a list of elements in X and a list of elements in Y, and draw an arrow from each element in X to the corresponding element in Y, as shown in Figure 7.1.1.

This arrow diagram does define a function because
1. Every element

of X has an arrow coming out of it.
2. No element of X has two arrows coming out of it that point to two different elements of Y.

Arrow Diagrams

In Example 2 there are no arrows pointing to the

1 or the 3.
This illustrates the fact that although each element of the domain of a function must have an arrow pointing out from it, there can be elements of the co-domain to which no arrows point.
Note also that there are two arrows pointing to the 2—one coming from a and the other from c.

Arrow Diagrams

Earlier we have given a test for determining whether two

functions with the same domain and co-domain are equal, saying that the test results from the definition of a function as a binary relation.
We formalize this justification in Theorem 7.1.1.

Example 4 – The Identity Function on a Set

Given a set

X, define a function IX from X to X by
for all x in X.
The function IX is called the identity function on X because it sends each element of X to the element that is identical to it. Thus the identity function can be pictured as a machine that sends each piece of input directly to the output chute without changing it in any way.
Let X be any set and suppose that and are
elements of X. Find and .

Examples of Functions

We have known that if S is a nonempty,

finite set of characters, then a string over S is a finite sequence of elements of S.
The number of characters in a string is called the length of the string. The null string over S is the “string” with no characters.
It is usually denoted ∈ and is said to have length 0.

Example 9 – Encoding and Decoding Functions Digital messages consist of

Example 9 – Encoding and Decoding Functions

Digital messages consist of finite

sequences of 0’s and 1’s. When they are communicated across a transmission channel, they are frequently coded in special ways to reduce the possibility that they will be garbled by interfering noise in the transmission lines.
For example, suppose a message consists of a sequence of 0’s and 1’s. A simple way to encode the message is to write each bit three times. Thus the message
would be encoded as
Слайд 21

Example 9 – Encoding and Decoding Functions The receiver of the

Example 9 – Encoding and Decoding Functions

The receiver of the message

decodes it by replacing each section of three identical bits by the one bit to which all three are equal.
Let A be the set of all strings of 0’s and 1’s, and let T be the set of all strings of 0’s and 1’s that consist of consecutive triples of identical bits.
The encoding and decoding processes described above are actually functions from A to T and from T to A.

Example 9 – Encoding and Decoding Functions The encoding function E

Example 9 – Encoding and Decoding Functions

The encoding function E is

the function from A to T defined as follows: For each string s ∈ A,
E(s) = the string obtained from s by replacing each
bit of s by the same bit written three times.
The decoding function D is defined as follows: For each string t ∈ T,
D(t) = the string obtained from t by replacing each consecutive triple of three identical bits of t by a single copy of that bit.

Example 9 – Encoding and Decoding Functions The advantage of this

Example 9 – Encoding and Decoding Functions

The advantage of this particular

coding scheme is that it makes it possible to do a certain amount of error correction when interference in the transmission channels has introduced errors into the stream of bits.
If the receiver of the coded message observes that one of the sections of three consecutive bits that should be identical does not consist of identical bits, then one bit differs from the other two.
In this case, if errors are rare, it is likely that the single bit that is different is the one in error, and this bit is changed to agree with the other two before decoding.

Boolean Functions

We have discussed earlier that how to find input/output tables

for certain digital logic circuits.
Any such input/output table defines a function in the following way: The elements in the input column can be regarded as ordered tuples of 0’s and 1’s; the set of all such ordered tuples is the domain of the function.
The elements in the output column are all either 0 or 1; thus {0, 1} is taken to be the co-domain of the function. The relationship is that which sends each input element to the output element in the same row.

Checking Whether a Function Is Well Defined

It can sometimes happen that

what appears to be a function defined by a rule is not really a function at all. To give an example, suppose we wrote, “Define a function f : R → R by specifying that for all real numbers x,
There are two distinct reasons why this description does not define a function. For almost all values of x, either (1) there is no y that satisfies the given equation or (2) there are two different values of y that satisfy the equation.

Checking Whether a Function Is Well Defined

For instance, when x =

2, there is no real number y such that 22 + y2 = 1, and when x = 0, both y = –1 and y = 1 satisfy the equation 02 + y2 = 1.
In general, we say that a “function” is not well defined if it fails to satisfy at least one of the requirements for being a function.

Example 12 – A Function That Is Not Well Defined

We know

that Q represents the set of all rational numbers. Suppose you read that a function f : Q → Z is to be defined by the formula
for all integers m and n with n ≠ 0.
That is, the integer associated by f to the number is m. Is f well defined? Why?
Слайд 33

Example 12 – Solution The function f is not well defined.

Example 12 – Solution

The function f is not well defined.
The reason

is that fractions have more than one representation as quotients of integers.
For instance, Now if f were a function, then the
definition of a function would imply that since

Example 12 – Solution

But applying the formula for f, you find

that
and so
This contradiction shows that f is not well defined and, therefore, is not a function.
