I'm assuming that the context within which you're asking this question
is: "I've got this XSLT stylesheet, see...".  If this is not so, you
might consider reposting with more information.

Have a look at the XPath W3C Recommendation [1].  It describes the
functions you list, but perhaps not all of them.  Maybe you'd also
enjoy reading the XSLT W3C Recommendation [2], which describes other
functions.  Even more informative might be the XSL-List [3], dedicated
to discussion of XSL-ish topics.

Hope this helps.
