Let $f\colon X\to Y$ be a function.

  1. The Inclusion of Characteristic Relations Associated to a Function. Let $f\colon A\to B$ be a function. We have an inclusion1


1Note: This is the $0$-categorical version of Chapter 9: Preorders, Definition 9.5.4.1.1.

Item 1: The Inclusion of Characteristic Relations Associated to a Function
The inclusion $\chi _{B}\webleft (f\webleft (a\webright ),f\webleft (b\webright )\webright )\subset \chi _{A}\webleft (a,b\webright )$ is equivalent to the statement “if $a=b$, then $f\webleft (a\webright )=f\webleft (b\webright )$”, which is true.
