# Category:Direct Image Mappings

This category contains results about Direct Image Mappings.
Definitions specific to this category can be found in Definitions/Direct Image Mappings.

Let $S$ and $T$ be sets.

Let $\powerset S$ and $\powerset T$ be their power sets.

### Relation

Let $\RR \subseteq S \times T$ be a relation on $S \times T$.

The direct image mapping of $\RR$ is the mapping $\RR^\to: \powerset S \to \powerset T$ that sends a subset $X \subseteq T$ to its image under $\RR$:

$\forall X \in \powerset S: \map {\RR^\to} X = \begin {cases} \set {t \in T: \exists s \in X: \tuple {s, t} \in \RR} & : X \ne \O \\ \O & : X = \O \end {cases}$

### Mapping

Let $f \subseteq S \times T$ be a mapping from $S$ to $T$.

The direct image mapping of $f$ is the mapping $f^\to: \powerset S \to \powerset T$ that sends a subset $X \subseteq S$ to its image under $f$:

$\forall X \in \powerset S: \map {f^\to} X = \begin {cases} \set {t \in T: \exists s \in X: \map f s = t} & : X \ne \O \\ \O & : X = \O \end {cases}$
