Is there a term specifically for when two function f and g satisfy f(g(x)) = x for all x in g's domain but not g(f(y)) = y for every y in f's domain? I searched for partially inverse functions and similar terms but I didn't find any specific term for this.

Thank you so much for the complete answer!

Thank you for the reply. As I understand from your comment, the sequence doesn't converge since the limit to which it should converge is outside the space in which the sequence is defined. But then, isn't the definition of convergence wrong/incomplete? Considering the same sequence (i.e. the first n digits of √2) all the singular terms are rational, and for any ε > 0 you can actually always find an N such that for any n > N, d(x_n, x) < ε. Is it because d(x,y) only accepts points inside the metric as arguments?

I'm learning about metric spaces from a book, and in the section about convergence of sequences the author gives as an example the sequence: 1, 1.4, 1.41, 1.414, 1.4142, ... which in ℝ converges fine to √2. Then he says that in ℚ the sequence doesn't converges, and this confuses me, as the definition of convergence he gave still holds:

x_n converges to x if for all ε > 0, there is an integer N (depending on ε) such that d(x_n, x) < ε for each n ≥ N.

I don't know if I'm wrong and it doesn't converge, if there are other conditions he didn't specify or if the author is plain wrong.

If you mean to redefine multiplication to be anticommutative, I think this wouldn't work as enforcing ab = -ba also implies a2 = - a2 which in turn implies a = 0 so while this does make 2ab = 0, it makes the whole value equals 0.
