definition

mekso ternary operator: inverse function of input function X1 with respect to its input X2, taken on branch or restricted domain X3 ("domain" being of X1).

notes

The output of this function is itself a function of the same arity as X1. X3 often omitted due to obviousness (or due to lack of need/due to well-definition) or convention. X1 should be a function supplied in "zau'au" quotes; that function itself should be at least unary and the input against which the inverse is being taken in an n-ary X1 is X2. X2 should technically be a input slot index or domain (or subspace/projection thereof), but a named and non-evaluated dummy variable symbol can be supplied if the slot ordering or domain terms (vel sim.) are not well-specified. Because the output is a function, it can itself (that is: the output's self) have an input; use "bai'i'i" or an equivalent thereof for this purpose in most situations. For example, if MATH

$f(x,y,z)=w,g=fau'i(f,2),v=(x,y,z)$

f (x, y, z) = w, g = fau'i(f, 2), v = (x, y, z), and MATH

$u=bai'i'i(v,2,w)=(x,w,z)$

u = bai'i'i(v, 2, w) = (x, w, z), then MATH

$g(u)=f^<a class="undefined" href="../dict/-1?bg=1;langidarg=2">-1</a>_2(x,w,z)=y$

g(u) = f-12(x, w, z) = y. In English notation, " MATH

$fau'i(f,n)$

fau'i(f, n)" might be notated as "inv(f, n)". See also: "fau'e" (this word acts as a better-specified case of iteration order n = - 1 for "fau'e").
