bijection

noun

1. A one-to-one correspondence, a function which is both a surjection and an injection.

   “The present text has defined a set to be finite if and only if there exists a bijection onto a natural number, and infinite if and only if there does not exist any such bijection.”

   “Note in particular that a function is a bijection if and only if it's both an injection and a surjection.”

   “The basic idea is that two sets A and B have the same cardinality if there is a bijection from A to B. Since the domain and range of the bijection is not relevant here, we often refer to a bijection from A to B as a bijection between the sets, or a one-to-one correspondence between the elements of the sets.”
