Example of Compositions of Mappings
Let $X = Y = \set {a, b}$.
Consider the mappings from $X$ to $Y$:
\(\text {(1)}: \quad\) | \(\ds \map {f_1} a\) | \(=\) | \(\ds a\) | |||||||||||
\(\ds \map {f_1} b\) | \(=\) | \(\ds b\) |
\(\text {(2)}: \quad\) | \(\ds \map {f_2} a\) | \(=\) | \(\ds a\) | |||||||||||
\(\ds \map {f_2} b\) | \(=\) | \(\ds a\) |
\(\text {(3)}: \quad\) | \(\ds \map {f_3} a\) | \(=\) | \(\ds b\) | |||||||||||
\(\ds \map {f_3} b\) | \(=\) | \(\ds b\) |
\(\text {(4)}: \quad\) | \(\ds \map {f_4} a\) | \(=\) | \(\ds b\) | |||||||||||
\(\ds \map {f_4} b\) | \(=\) | \(\ds a\) |
We have that:
- $f_1$ is the inverse mapping of itself
- $f_4$ is the inverse mapping of itself
