function
A Function is a term-forming Relation that maps from a n-tuple of arguments to a range and that associates this n-tuple with at most one range element. Note that the range is a Class, and each element of the range is an instance of the Class.
Relationships      
Parents InheritableRelation The class of Relations whose properties can be inherited downward in the class hierarchy via the subrelation Predicate.
  relation simple A Relation is a SingleValuedRelation just in case an assignment of values to every argument position except the last one determines at most one assignment for the last argument position. Note that not all SingleValuedRelations are TotalValuedRelations.
Children fonction binaireThe Class of Functions that require two arguments.
 fonction continueFunctions which are continuous. This concept is taken as primitive until representations for limits are devised.
 function quaternaireThe Class of Functions that require exactly four arguments.
 fonction ternaireThe Class of Functions that require exactly three arguments.
 function unaireThe Class of Functions that require a single argument.
InstancesAssignmentFnIf F is a Function with a value for the objects denoted by N1,..., NK, then (AssignmentFn F N1 ... NK) is the value of applying F to the objects denoted by N1,..., NK. Otherwise, the value is undefined.
 GreatestCommonDivisorFn(GreatestCommonDivisorFn ?NUMBER1 ?NUMBER2 ... ?NUMBER) returns the greatest common divisor of ?NUMBER1 through ?NUMBER.
 LatitudeFnLatitudeFn is a VariableArityRelation used to denote a parallel of latitude. Examples: (LatitudeFn North (MeasureFn 38.0 AngularDegree)), (LatitudeFn South (MeasureFn 23.0 AngularDegree) (MeasureFn 30.0 ArcMinute)), (LatitudeFn South (MeasureFn 60.0 AngularDegree) (MeasureFn 0.0 ArcMinute) (MeasureFn 0.0 ArcSecond)), (LatitudeFn North (MeasureFn 42.0 AngularDegree) (MeasureFn 7.89 ArcMinute)).
 LeastCommonMultipleFn(LeastCommonMultipleFn ?NUMBER1 ?NUMBER2 ... ?NUMBER) returns the least common multiple of ?NUMBER1 through ?NUMBER.
 ListFnA Function that takes any number of arguments and returns the List containing those arguments in exactly the same order.
 LongitudeFn(LongitudeFn ?DIRECTION @ROW) denotes a meridian of longitude. Note that LongitudeFn is a VariableArityRelation. Examples: (LongitudeFn East (MeasureFn 180.0 AngularDegree)), (LongitudeFn West (MeasureFn 122.0 AngularDegree) (MeasureFn 24.0 ArcMinute)), (LongitudeFn East (MeasureFn 121.0 AngularDegree) (MeasureFn 0.0 ArcMinute) (MeasureFn 15.0 ArcSecond)), (LongitudeFn West (MeasureFn 80.0 AngularDegree) (MeasureFn 6.78 ArcMinute)).
