Injective relabeling as extension by zero #
For an injective index map, pushing forward a finitely supported function is ordinary function extension by zero, over any additive commutative monoid.
Pushing forward along a strictly monotone map of linearly ordered indices preserves and reflects the strict and non-strict lexicographic orders, since the relabeled functions vanish off the image and the order relabels the positions where they first differ.
Pushing a finitely supported function along an injection extends its values by zero outside the image.
A finitely supported function supported on a set s is the push-forward along the inclusion
of its restriction to s.
Pushing forward along a strictly monotone map of indices preserves and reflects the strict lexicographic order: the first position at which two relabeled functions differ is the image of the first position at which the original functions differ.
Pushing forward along a strictly monotone map of linearly ordered indices preserves and reflects the lexicographic order.
