Binary relationFunction

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Specialize to a relation RX×YR\subseteq X\times Y that is total and single-valued in XX; this is exactly a function XYX\to Y.

How to interpret this relation type

Keep the existing data and select the subclass satisfying an additional law, existence condition, finiteness condition, or other property.

FunctionCalculus of variations

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Calculus of variations studies functionals on spaces of functions, curves, or fields.

How to interpret this relation type

A more specific theory, model, entity class, or regime is obtained by restricting or extending the scope of a broader framework.

FunctionIndexed family

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

An indexed family is a function whose domain is treated as an index set.

How to interpret this relation type

Reinterpret an object, pass to an equivalent presentation, or relate canonically corresponding structures; the carrier may change.

Relation sources

Functionfunction + domain/codomain topologies(construction junction)

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Supply the function whose domain and codomain are equipped with the two topologies.

How to interpret this relation type

Feed several structures into a construction junction and impose compatibility between them.

Functiontopological spaces + covering map(construction junction)

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Supply the map from total space to base space.

How to interpret this relation type

Feed several structures into a construction junction and impose compatibility between them.

Functionfunction + normed domain and codomain(construction junction)

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Supply the function whose domain and codomain receive the normed-vector-space structures used for differentiation.

How to interpret this relation type

Feed several structures into a construction junction and impose compatibility between them.

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Supply the map from total space to base space.

How to interpret this relation type

Feed several structures into a construction junction and impose compatibility between them.

Functionfunction + measurable domain/codomain(construction junction)

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Supply the map between the underlying sets.

How to interpret this relation type

Feed several structures into a construction junction and impose compatibility between them.

FunctionSelf-map

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Restrict a function f:XYf:X\to Y by requiring Y=XY=X. The resulting endofunction can be iterated, whereas an arbitrary function with different domain and codomain cannot be composed with itself.

How to interpret this relation type

Keep the existing data and select the subclass satisfying an additional law, existence condition, finiteness condition, or other property.
