codomain meaning
ENWCodomain
- In mathematics, the codomain or target set of a function is the set Y into which all of the output of the function is constrained to fall. It is the set Y in the notation f: X → Y.
- The codomain is part of a function f if it is defined as described in 1954 by Nicolas Bourbaki, namely a triple (X, Y, F), with F a functional subset of the Cartesian product X × Y and X is the set of first components of the pairs in F (the domain).
- An alternative definition of function by Bourbaki [Bourbaki, op. cit., p. 77], namely as just a functional graph, does not include a codomain and is also widely used.
