I've been saying function $f$ "eclipses" $g$ if $f(g(x)) = f(x)$ for all $x$. For example, if $f(x) = lvert x rvert$ and $g(x) = -x$, then $f$ eclipses $g$.



Is there an established word for this property?

    This is loosely related to the concept of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coequalizer, so maybe one could call $f$ "co-equalizing $g$ and the identity"

I would express this as "$f$ is invariant under $g$" or "$f$ is $g$-invariant", because of the analogy with group actions:



Compare this with: If $G$ is a group acting linearly on a vector space $V$, it induces an action on the dual $V^*$ by letting $g*f = f circ g$. If $g*f = f$ for all $g in G$, we would say $f$ is $G$-invariant.



Now, if $f : X to Y$ and $g : X to X$, then $g$ determines a monoid action of $mathbb N$ on $X$ by letting $n$ act by $g_n = g circ cdots circ g$. The monoid action induces a monoid action on the set of functions $X to Y$, by letting $n*f = f circ g_n$. A function $f$ is invariant under this monoid action iff $f circ g = f$.
