ISL 1989 Problem 95

    Let nn be a positive integer, X={1,2,…,n},X = \{1, 2, \ldots , n\}, and kk a positive integer such that n2≤k≤n.\frac{n}{2} \leq k \leq n. Determine, with proof, the number of all functions f:X↦Xf : X \mapsto X that satisfy the following conditions:

    (i) f2=f;f^2 = f; (ii) the number of elements in the image of ff is k;k; (iii) for each yy in the image of f,f, the number of all points x∈Xx \in X such that f(x)=yf(x)=y is at most 2.2.
