Inverse map
Formulation 1
Let $f : X \to Y$ be a D18: Map.
A D18: Map $g : Y \to X$ is an inverse of $f$ if and only if
(1) \begin{equation} \forall \, x \in X : g(f(x)) = x \end{equation} (D525: Left inverse map)
(2) \begin{equation} \forall \, y \in Y : f(g(y)) = x \end{equation} (D526: Right inverse map)
