If I want to flip the order of some numbers, I can just multiply them with -1. But is there a not too complicated way to do it such that the numbers remain positive?
Here's my attempt to word the question a bit more formally if you prefer that:
Is there a simple* function that maps from $\mathbb{R} \to S$ where $S \subseteq \mathbb{R} \ $ s.t.: $$ \ \forall x \colon \forall y \colon (x \in \mathbb{R}) \wedge (y \in \mathbb{R}) \wedge (x < y) \rightarrow (f(x) > f(y)) \wedge (f(x) > 0) \wedge (f(y) > 0)$$
Its fine even its from $\mathbb{N} \to S$ or something.
*I know this is vague, but I just mean like obviously I know there is some function but I want one I can use.
Thank you!
Try $f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}_{>0}$ given by $f(x)=e^{-x}.$
This is a positive strictly decreasing function.
