How to Represent Process-Resource Assignment Mathematically?

In summary, mathematical notation is a system of symbols used to represent mathematical concepts and operations. It is important because it allows for concise and precise communication and can be read by understanding the meaning and function of the symbols. Some common symbols include +, -, *, /, =, <, >, and ^, and it can be used in all branches of math.

Hi,

I need to translate some conditions/statements into mathematical notation but my mind is drawing blank right now.

There are a set of processes p={1,2,...n} and a class of resources r={a,b,...x}.

1 set of resources must be assigned to each existing process (e.g. resource a is assigned for process 1, resource b is assigned to process 2 and so on.)

How do I translate this into mathematical notation?

thanks

You can make it a function A from p to r (or vice versa), defined as
A(1) = a
A(2) = b
