Definition df-map 7441
 Description: Define the mapping operation or set exponentiation. The set of all functions that map from to is written (see mapval 7451). Many authors write followed by as a superscript for this operation and rely on context to avoid confusion other exponentiation operations (e.g. Definition 10.42 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 95). Other authors show as a prefixed superscript, which is read " pre " (e.g. definition of [Enderton] p. 52). Definition 8.21 of [Eisenberg] p. 125 uses the notation Map( , ) for our . The up-arrow is used by Donald Knuth for iterated exponentiation (Science 194, 1235-1242, 1976). We adopt the first case of his notation (simple exponentiation) and subscript it with m to distinguish it from other kinds of exponentiation. (Contributed by NM, 8-Dec-2003.)
