  Function
The mathematical notion of function is not limited to computations using single numbers, or even numbers at all - a function may be any of a wide variety of mappings, maps or transformations.
As a mathematical term, "function" was coined by Leibniz, in 1694, to describe a quantity related to a curve; such as a curve's slope or a specific point of said curve.
Functions related to curves are nowaday called differentiable functions and are still the most frequently type of functions encounted by non-mathematicians.

 Wikinfo | Function
The most familiar kind of function is that where the argument and the function's value are both numbers, and the functional relationship is expressed by a formula, and the value of the function is obtained from the arguments by direct substitution.
Those functions, first thought as purely imaginary and called collectively "monsters" as late as the turn of the 20th century, were later found to be important in the modelling of physical phenomena such as Brownian motion.
The number of computable functions from integers to integers is countable, because number of possible algorithms is. The number of all functions from integers to integers is higher: the same as the cardinality of the real numbers.

History As a mathematical term, "function" was coined by Leibniz in 1694, to describe a quantity related to a curve; such as a curve's slope or a specific point of said curve.
Graph of a functions The graph of a function f is the collection of all points(x, f(x)), for all x in set X. In the example of the discrete function, the graph of f is {(1,a),(2,d),(3,c)}.
Thus one obtains a function gÊoÊf: XÊ→ÊZ defined by (gÊoÊf)(x)Ê:= g(f(x)) for all x in X. As an example, suppose that an airplane's height at time t is given by the function h(t) and that the oxygen concentration at height x is given by the function c(x).

 Bijection
Put another way, a bijection is a function which is both injective and surjective, and therefore bijections are also called one-to-one and onto.
Generalising this to infinite sets leads to the concept of cardinal number, a way to distinguish the various infinite sizes of infinite sets.
This function is bijective, since given an arbitrary real number

 Bijection - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, a function f from a set X to a set Y is said to be bijective if for every y in Y there is exactly one x in X such that f(x) = y.
A bijective function is also called a bijection or permutation.
The function f from the real line R to R defined by f(x) = 2x + 1 is bijective, since for each y there is a unique x = (y − 1)/2 such that f(x) = y.

 Quasi-Algoruthms / Quasi-Functions
Before entering the F function the block is expanded from 32 to 48 bits and it is split in 4 sub-blocks each 6 bits.
The quasi function, the arguments and the information about the primitive operation to be executed in each step are the arguments passed to the overlay function.
The sigma function use the same argument as C. The direct consequence is that every value of x and k make the decision which function from the family C [the encryption Quasi Algorithm] they are going to be processed trough.

 PlanetMath: permutation
A permutation can also be seen as a bijective function of a set into itself.
In fact, every bijection of a set into itself gives a permutation, and any permutation gives rise to a bijective function.
Using the function approach, it can be proved that any permutation can be expressed as a composition of disjoint cycles and also as composition of (not necessarily disjoint) transpositions.

 Function composition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, a composite function, formed by the composition of one function on another, represents the application of the former to the result of the application of the latter to the argument of the composite.
As a result the set of bijective functions f: X → X form a group with respect to the composition operator.
As an example, suppose that an airplane's elevation at time t is given by the function h(t) and that the oxygen concentration at elevation x is given by the function c(x).

 The Weird World of Bi-Directional Programming | Lambda the Ultimate
There are a great many cases where it is valuable to be able to statically express and verify algorithms that are bijective or fit elsewhere in Pierce's "Lens Bestiary".
Bijective AKA invertible functions can be used in logic programming to get smaller search spaces.
What makes this interesting to me is how many things in the computing world "pretend" to be bijective, when this is not explicitly declared in the programming language -- data conversion, compression/decompression, data persistence, UI forms, etc. I wonder if we'll see programming languages that explicitly declare this relationship.

 Subroutines
Since QCL allows for the inverse call of operators and can perform scratch-space management for quantum functions, the allowed side effects on the classical program state as well as on the quantum machine state have to be strictly specified.
This means, that not only the program state must not be changed by these routines, but also that their execution may in no way depend on the global program state which includes global variables, options and the state of the internal random nuber generator.
Functions are the most restrictive routine type and don't allow any interactions with the global state.

 Math Forum - Ask Dr. Math
I would be most obliged if perhaps you could provide me with the definitions of the terms injective, surjective, and bijective as they apply to functions in set theory.
(This is often called a "one-to-one" function.) f is a surjective function if for all t in T, there is an s in S such that f(s) = t.
(This is often called an "onto" function.) f is a bijective function if it is both injective and surjective.

 Quantum Operations
QCL allows to invert operators and can perform scratch-space management for quantum functions, thus allowed side effects on the classical program state as well as on the quantum machine state have to be strictly specified.
The 4 QCL routine types form a call hierarchy, which means that a routine may invoke only subroutines of the same or a lower level (see table 3.6).
This means, that not only the program state must not be changed by these routines, but also that their execution may in no way depend on the global program state which includes global variables, options and the state of the internal random number generator.
