partial mapping
Let and be sets, and let be a function of variables: . for . The induced mapping is called the partial mapping determined by corresponding to the first variable.
In the case where , the map defined by is often denoted . Further, any function determines a mappingfrom into the set of mappings of into , namely.The converse![]()
holds too, and it is customary to identify with. Many of the “canonical isomorphisms” that we come across (e.g. in multilinear algebra) are illustrations of this kind of identification.
