## Overview

A **function** $F$ is a single-valued [[relations|relation]]. We say $F$ **maps $A$ into $B$**, denoted $F \colon A \rightarrow B$, if and only if $F$ is a function, $\mathop{\text{dom}}F = A$, and $\mathop{\text{ran}}F \subseteq B$.

## Kernels

Let $F \colon A \rightarrow B$. Define [[relations#Equivalence Relations|equivalence relation]] $\sim$ as $$x \sim y \Leftrightarrow f(x) = f(y)$$
Relation $\sim$ is called the **(equivalence) kernel** of $f$. The [[relations#Partitions|partition]] induced by $\sim$ on $A$ is called the **coimage** of $f$ (denoted $\mathop{\text{coim}}f$). The **fiber** of an element $y$ under $F$ is $F^{-1}[\![\{y\}]\!]$, i.e. the preimage of singleton set $\{y\}$. Therefore the equivalence classes of $\sim$ are also known as the fibers of $f$.
