Two maps on disjoint domains glue to a map on the union, and two bijections with disjoint domains and disjoint codomains glue to a bijection; a map may be regarded as a map into any class containing its image, and an injective map is a bijection onto its image.
In the setting of Routine Facts Used Without Citation: Arithmetic, Maps, Predicativity and Indices, let and be sets and a class, with maps and their values as in Functions, Values of a Function, and Functions from One Class to Another, and the image of under a map .
Gluing. Let and be maps with . Then is a map , with for and for .
Gluing bijections. Let and be sets with , and let and be bijections with . Then is a bijection .
Shrinking the codomain. Let be a map and a class with . Then is a map. If is injective, then is a bijection.
