Pairing function Pairing function In mathematics, a pairing function is a process to uniquely encode two natural numbers into a single natural number. Any pairing function can be used in set theory to prove that integers and rational numbers have the same cardinality as natural numbers. In theoretical computer science they are used to encode a function defined on a vector of natural numbers formula_1 into a new function formula_2. A pairing function is a computable bijection The Cantor pairing function is a primitive recursive pairing function defined by The statement that this is the only quadratic pairing function is known as
