Extract

Let

be two sets of n ≥ 1 consecutive integers with s ≤ t. In this note we are concerned with one-to-one mappings of Γ onto II. If i → f(i) is such a mapping then for i ∈ Γ we write Fi for the highest common factor (i, f(i)), and if Fi = 1 for all i ∈ Γ we say that f is a coprime mapping. Our principal result is

THEOREM 1. If Γ = {1, 2, …, n} and Π = {n+1, n+2, …, 2n} then a one-to-one coprime mapping of Γ onto II can be constructed.
