inverse
(foldoc) | inverse
Given a function, f : D -> C, a function g : C
-> D is called a left inverse for f if for all d in D, g (f d)
= d and a right inverse if, for all c in C, f (g c) = c and an
inverse if both conditions hold. Only an injection has a
left inverse, only a surjection has a right inverse and only
a bijection has inverses. The inverse of f is often written
as f with a -1 superscript.

(a) The equality or similarity of ratios, especially of
geometrical ratios; or a relation among quantities
such that the quotient of the first divided by the
second is equal to that of the third divided by the
fourth; -- called also geometrical proportion, in
distinction from arithmetical proportion, or that in
which the difference of the first and second is equal
to the difference of the third and fourth.
[1913 Webster]
Note: Proportion in the mathematical sense differs from
ratio. Ratio is the relation of two quantities of the
same kind, as the ratio of 5 to 10, or the ratio of 8
to 16. Proportion is the sameness or likeness of two
such relations. Thus, 5 to 10 as 8 to 16; that is, 5
bears the same relation to 10 as 8 does to 16. Hence,
such numbers are said to be in proportion. Proportion
is expressed by symbols thus:
[1913 Webster] a:b::c:d, or a:b = c:d, or a/b = c/d.
[1913 Webster]
(b) The rule of three, in arithmetic, in which the three
given terms, together with the one sought, are

[1913 Webster]
Continued proportion, Inverse proportion, etc. See under
Continued, Inverse, etc.
Harmonical proportion or Musical proportion, a relation
of three or four quantities, such that the first is to the
last as the difference between the first two is to the
difference between the last two; thus, 2, 3, 6, are in
harmonical proportion; for 2 is to 6 as 1 to 3. Thus, 24,
16, 12, 9, are harmonical, for 24:9::8:3.
In proportion, according as; to the degree that. "In
proportion as they are metaphysically true, they are
morally and politically false." --Burke.

3. (Math.) Opposite in nature and effect; -- said with
reference to any two operations, which, when both are

of the direct operation with -1 as an index. Thus sin-1 x
means the arc or angle whose sine is x.
[1913 Webster]
Inverse figures (Geom.), two figures, such that each point
of either figure is inverse to a corresponding point in

the reciprocals of two quantities.
Inverse proportion, or Reciprocal proportion, an equality
between a direct ratio and a reciprocal ratio; thus, 4 : 2

[1913 Webster]Ratio \Ra"ti*o\ (r[=a]"sh[i^]*[-o] or r[=a]"sh[-o]), n. [L., fr.
reri, ratus, to reckon, believe, think, judge. See Reason.]
1. (Math.) The relation which one quantity or magnitude has
to another of the same kind. It is expressed by the
quotient of the division of the first by the second; thus,
the ratio of 3 to 6 is expressed by 3/6 or 1/2; of a to b
by a/b; or (less commonly) the second term is made the
dividend; as, a:b = b/a.
[1913 Webster]
Note: Some writers consider ratio as the quotient itself,
making ratio equivalent to a number.
[1913 Webster] The term ratio is also sometimes applied
to the difference of two quantities as well as to their
quotient, in which case the former is called
arithmetical ratio, the latter, geometrical ratio. The
name ratio is sometimes given to the rule of three in
arithmetic. See under Rule.
[1913 Webster]
2. Hence, fixed relation of number, quantity, or degree;
rate; proportion; as, the ratio of representation in
Congress.

multiplication, division, raising to a given power, and
extracting a given root; -- opposed to transcendental
function.
Arbitrary function. See under Arbitrary.
Calculus of functions. See under Calculus.
Carnot's function (Thermo-dynamics), a relation between the
amount of heat given off by a source of heat, and the work
which can be done by it. It is approximately equal to the
mechanical equivalent of the thermal unit divided by the
number expressing the temperature in degrees of the air
thermometer, reckoned from its zero of expansion.
Circular functions. See Inverse trigonometrical functions
(below). -- Continuous function, a quantity that has no
interruption in the continuity of its real values, as the
variable changes between any specified limits.
Discontinuous function. See under Discontinuous.
Elliptic functions, a large and important class of
functions, so called because one of the forms expresses
the relation of the arc of an ellipse to the straight
lines connected therewith.
Explicit function, a quantity directly expressed in terms
of the independently varying quantity; thus, in the
equations y = 6x^2, y = 10 -x^3, the quantity y is an
explicit function of x.
Implicit function, a quantity whose relation to the

functions, etc.
One-valued function, a quantity that has one, and only one,
value for each value of the variable. -- {Transcendental
functions}, a quantity whose connection with the variable
cannot be expressed by algebraic operations; thus, y in
the equation y = 10^x is a transcendental function of x.
See Algebraic function (above). -- {Trigonometrical
function}, a quantity whose relation to the variable is the
same as that of a certain straight line drawn in a circle
whose radius is unity, to the length of a corresponding
are of the circle. Let AB be an arc in a circle, whose
radius OA is unity let AC be a quadrant, and let OC, DB,
and AF be drawnpependicular to OA, and EB and CG parallel
to OA, and let OB be produced to G and F. E Then BD is the
sine of the arc AB; OD or EB is the cosine, AF is the
tangent, CG is the cotangent, OF is the secant OG is the
cosecant, AD is the versed sine, and CE is the coversed
sine of the are AB. If the length of AB be represented by
x (OA being unity) then the lengths of Functions. these
lines (OA being unity) are the trigonometrical functions
of x, and are written sin x, cos x, tan x (or tang x), cot
x, sec x, cosec x, versin x, coversin x. These quantities
are also considered as functions of the angle BOA.

inverse address resolution protocol
(foldoc) | Inverse Address Resolution Protocol
InARP
(InARP) Additions to ARP typically
used for Frame Relay. [Any other examples of its use?]
Frame Relay stations route frames of a higher level
protocol between LANs, across a Permanent Virtual Circuit.
These stations are identified by their {Data Link Control
Identifier} (DLCI), equivalent to an Ethernet address in a
LAN itself.
InARP allows a station to determine a protocol address (e.g.
IP address) from a DLCI. This is useful if a new {virtual
circuit} becomes available. Signalling messages announce its
DLCI, but without the corresponding protocol address it is
unusable: no frames can be routed to it.
Reverse ARP (RARP) performs a similar task on an Ethernet
LAN, however RARP answers the question "What is my IP
Address?" whereas InARP answers the question "What is your
protocol address?".
