Definition df-fv 5101
Description: Define the value of a function,  ( F `  A ), also known as function application. For example,  (  _I  `  (/) )  =  (/). Typically, function  F is defined using maps-to notation (see df-mpt 3961), but this is not required. For example, F = {  <. 2 , 6  >.,  <. 3 , 9  >. } -> ( F  ` 3 ) = 9 . We will later define two-argument functions using ordered pairs as  ( A F B )  =  ( F `  <. A ,  B >. ). This particular definition is quite convenient: it can be applied to any class and evaluates to the empty set when it is not meaningful. The left apostrophe notation originated with Peano and was adopted in Definition *30.01 of [WhiteheadRussell] p. 235, Definition 10.11 of [Quine] p. 68, and Definition 6.11 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 26. It means the same thing as the more familiar  F ( A ) notation for a function's value at  A, i.e. " F of  A," but without context-dependent notational ambiguity. (Contributed by NM, 1-Aug-1994.) Revised to use  iota. (Revised by Scott Fenton, 6-Oct-2017.)
