I have seen questions on *.stackexchange.com that pertain to finding the inverse of functions that map from $\mathbb{R}^2$ to $\mathbb{R}^2$ (for example, this, and this).
My question pertains to finding the inverse of a function like the perspective function, defined as: $P:\mathbb{R}^{n+1}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^n,\, P(x,\,t) = \frac{x}{t},\, \text{dom } P = \{(x,\, t)\,\vert\,(x \in \mathbb{R}^n)\wedge(t>0)\}$.
Thus, my question is: how can one find the inverse of this function? I am interested in doing so because I have recently learned that the inverse-image of a convex set under this function is also convex.
You cannot find inverses of functions which are not injective. Your function is not injective, since
$$P(x, t) = P(\alpha x, \alpha t)$$ for any $\alpha > 0$. For example, $$P(2x, 2t) = \frac{2x}{2t} = \frac xt = P(x,t)$$
and even more concretely, for $n=1$, you have $$P(2,1) = P(4,2) = P(6,3)\cdots = 2$$ so it is impossible to define the inverse of this function, since $P^{-1}(2)$ would have to be equal to $(2,1), (4,2), (6,3)$ and many other pairs at the same time.
