Bimorphism

Pronunciation: /ˈbaɪˈmɔɹfˈɪzəm/

Bimorphism (noun)

  1. A function that is both one-to-one and onto, so each input matches exactly one output and every output comes from an input.
  2. In category theory, a morphism that behaves like an isomorphism, but described through a pair of compatible maps.

Examples

  • A bimorphism can represent a two-way mapping between systems.
  • The model uses a bimorphism to keep a two-way mapping clear.
