Definition:Support of Mapping to Algebraic Structure/Real-Valued Function

Definition
Let $S$ be a set.

Let $f: S \to \R$ be a real-valued function.

The support of $f$ is the set of elements $x$ of $S$ whose values under $f$ are non-zero.

That is:
 * $\operatorname{supp} \left({f}\right) := \left\{{x \in S: f \left({x}\right) \ne 0}\right\}$
