Mathematics, Sciences Of a function Associating to each element of the codomain exactly one element of the domain; establishing a perfect (one-to-one) correspondence between the elements of the domain and the codomain; (formally) both injective and surjective.

  • 1987, James S. Royer, A Connotational Theory of Program Structure, Springer, LNCS 273, page 15, Then, by a straightforward, computable, bijective numerical coding, this idealized FORTRAN determines an EN. (Note: In this FORTRAN example, we could have omitted restrictions on I/O and instead used a computable, bijective, numerical coding for inputs and outputs to get another EN determined by FORTRAN.)
  • 1993, Susan Montgomery, Hopf Algebras and Their Actions on Rings, American Mathematical Society, CBMS, Regional Conference Series in Mathematics, Number 83, page 124, Recent experience indicates that for infinite-dimensional Hopf algebras, the “right” definition of Galois is to require that β be bijective.

  • An isomorphism is a bijective homomorphism.2010, Kang Feng, Mengzhao Qin, Symplectic Geometric Algorithms for Hamiltonian Systems, Springer, page 39:
  • 2012 [Introduction to Graph Theory, McGraw-Hill], Gary Chartrand, Ping Zhang, A First Course in Graph Theory, 2013, Dover, Revised and corrected republication, page 64, The proof that isomorphism is an equivalence relation relies on three fundamental properties of bijective functions (functions that are one-to-one and onto): (1) every identity function is bijective, (2) the inverse of every bijective function is also bijective, (3) the composition of two bijective functions is bijective.
