Examples of Inverse Elements
Let $\struct {\CC, \circ}$ be the monoid of all real functions $\CC$ under composition $\circ$ over the closed real interval $\closedint 0 1$.
Not all elements of $\CC$ have an inverse mapping, but in particular let $f$ be defined as:
- $\forall x \in \closedint 0 1: \map f x = x^2$
$\map f x$ is in fact a bijection and has inverse mapping $\inv f x$ defined as:
- $\forall x \in \closedint 0 1: \inv f x = \sqrt x$
Proof
This theorem requires a proof. In particular: prove the assertions in the statement. They should be somewhere around as links. You can help $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ by crafting such a proof. To discuss this page in more detail, feel free to use the talk page. When this work has been completed, you may remove this instance of {{ProofWanted}} from the code.If you would welcome a second opinion as to whether your work is correct, add a call to {{Proofread}} the page. |
