Injectiveness, surjectiveness, biuniqueness. Countability and uncountability of sets


Mapping is injective, if every yYf has unique inverse image, that is from equality

f(x1) = f(x2) → x1 = x2.

Mapping is surjective, if Y = Yf , that is every yY has inverse image.

Mapping is biunique, if it is injective and surjective.

Biunique mapping realizes one-to-one correspondence between sets X and Y.

Sets, connected by biuniqueness, are called equipotent.

Sets, equipotent to the set of natural numbers, are called countable.

One-to-one mapping has inverse.
