Even and odd functions #
We define even functions α → β assuming α has a negation, and odd functions assuming both α
and β have negation.
These definitions are Function.Even and Function.Odd; and they are protected, to avoid
conflicting with the root-level definitions Even and Odd (which, for functions, mean that the
function takes even resp. odd values, a wholly different concept).
A function f is even if it satisfies f (-x) = f x for all x.
Equations
- Function.Even f = ∀ (a : α), f (-a) = f a
Instances For
Any constant function is even.
The zero function is even.
The zero function is odd.
If f is arbitrary and g is even, then f ∘ g is even.
If f is even and g is odd, then f ∘ g is even.
If f and g are odd, then f ∘ g is odd.
If f is both even and odd, and its target is a torsion-free commutative additive group,
then f = 0.
The sum of the values of an odd function is 0.
An odd function vanishes at zero.
