If K is a set of automorphisms of a group G, an endomorphism θ: G → G is said to be K-pointwise if for each element t ∈ G, there exists an element ψ ∈ K such that θ(t)= ψ(t). This generalizes the notion of pointwise inner automorphism. We show that in some special cases, a K-pointwise endomorphism is necessarily an automorphism (it is not true in general).
