consider psi being Automorphism of G such that

consider psi2 being Automorphism of G such that
B3: psi2 = phi " and
B4: multMagma(# the carrier of H, the multF of H #) = Image (phi | (Image (psi2 | H))) by Th17;
thus H is Subgroup of Image (phi | H) by B1, B2, B3, B4; :: thesis: verum

for phi being Automorphism of G holds H = Image (phi | H)
proof
let phi be Automorphism of G; :: thesis: H = Image (phi | H)
( H is Subgroup of Image (phi | H) & Image (phi | H) is Subgroup of H ) by A1, A2;
