  • A bijective function is also known as one-to-one and onto.
  • A function is bijective if for each there is exactly one such that .
  • FunctionBijective[{funs,xcons,ycons},xvars,yvars,dom] returns True if the mapping is bijective, where is the solution set of xcons and is the solution set of ycons.
  • If funs contains parameters other than xvars, the result is typically a ConditionalExpression.
  • Possible values for dom are Reals and Complexes. If dom is Reals, then all variables, parameters, constants and function values are restricted to be real.
  • The domain of funs is restricted by the condition given by FunctionDomain.
  • xcons and ycons can contain equations, inequalities or logical combinations of these.
  • The following options can be given:
  • Assumptions $Assumptionsassumptions on parameters
