I mean, you apply your function before the bijection, but then also change the domain of the bijection to be N instead of D, which of course doesn’t preserve it, as there is nothing to be paired with the nondivisible numbers. NB this does NOT mean there aren’t „enough” multiples of 10 (there’s one for every natural, obviously); they HAVE already been paired on the other side. Non-multiples of 10 are only members of ONE of the sets being bijected - N, not D. Do not confuse them. -- Am Sat, 20 Jul 2024 12:35:31 +0000 schrieb WM in sci.math: It is not guaranteed that n+1 exists for every n.
