Involution

Revision as of 07:55, 31 August 2008 by 1=2 (talk | contribs) (Examples)

An involution is a function whose inverse is itself.


Examples

  • The function $y(x)=x$ has the inverse $x(y)=y$, which is the same function, and thus $f(x)=x$ is an involution.
  • The logical NOT is an involution because $\neg \neg p} \equiv p$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg).
