Especially, we discuss its role in linear groupoids over a field. We show that, given an invertible function φ, there exists a groupoid such that φ is a right idenfunction. The notion of a right pseudo semigroup will be discussed in linear groupoids. The notion of an inversal is a generalization of an inverse element, and it will be discussed with idenfunctions in linear groupoids over a field.
