Terminolgy question about inverse functions

by Adrian Hey <ahey@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Dec 14, 2007 at 08:10 PM

Hello folks,

Say I have a function fx such that for any x = fx y, then x uniquely
determines y (so in principle there exists an inverse function fy such
that y = fy x).

Now I seem to remember there was a special word used to describe
functions such as fx, or (fx,fy) pairs of functions, but I can't
remember what that word is :-). Can someone remind me?

Also, what would you call a pair (x,y), such that x = fx y and y = fy x?

I guess this concept could be extended to triples and n-tuples
generally. For example (x,y,z) constrained such that..
  x = fx y z
  y = fy z x
  z = fz x y

Thanks for any enlightenment
