Let be a set, and let and be functions from to . Which of the following are always true and which can be false? Give proofs or counterexamples as appropriate.
(i) If is the identity map then is the identity map.
(ii) If then is the identity map.
(iii) If then is the identity map.
How (if at all) do your answers change if we are given that is finite?
Determine which sets have the following property: if is a function from to such that for every there exists a positive integer with , then there exists a positive integer such that is the identity map. [Here denotes the -fold composition of with itself.]
