Identity Arithmetic Function
The identity arithmetic function $\iota: S \to \Z$ is defined for $n \geq 1$ by:
- $\forall n \in S: \map \iota n = \delta_{n 1}$
where:
- $S$ is (in theory) any set, but in this context is usually one of the standard number sets $\Z, \Q, \R, \C$.
- $\delta$ is the Kronecker delta.
That is:
- $\forall n \in S: \map \iota n = \begin {cases} 1 & : n = 1\\ 0 & : n \ne 1 \end {cases}$
The $\LaTeX$ code for \(\map \iota n\) is \map \iota n
