Definition df-f1

Description: Define a one-to-one function. For equivalent definitions see dff12 and dff13 . Compare Definition 6.15(5) of TakeutiZaring p. 27. We use their notation ("1-1" above the arrow).

A one-to-one function is also called an "injection" or an "injective function", F : A -1-1-> B can be read as " F is an injection from A into B ". Injections are precisely the monomorphisms in the category SetCat of sets and set functions, see setcmon . (Contributed by NM, 1-Aug-1994)
