Bijective Function

Definition

A function f:XY is said to be bijective or is called a bijection if it is both surjective and injective


This is equivalent to the fact that for every yY, there exists a unique xX such that f(x)=y.

Bijective functions give a one to one correspondence between every element in X and Y, and hence bijectivity is both a sufficient and necessary condition for the function to be invertible.
