Orthomorphism

In abstract algebra, an orthomorphism is a certain kind of mapping from a group into itself. Let G be a group, and let θ be a permutation of G. Then θ is an orthomorphism of G if the mapping f defined by f(x)&nbsp;=&nbsp;x<sup>−1</sup>&nbsp;θ(x) is also a permutation of G. A permutation φ of G is a complete mapping if the mapping g defined by g(x)&nbsp;=&nbsp;xφ(x) is also a permutation of&nbsp;G. Orthomorphisms and complete mappings are closely related.
