Fixed point #

This module defines a generic fix operator for defining recursive computations that are not necessarily well-founded or productive. An instance is defined for part.

Main definition #

@[class]
structure has_fix (α : Type u_3) :
Type u_3
  • fix : (α → α) → α

has_fix α gives us a way to calculate the fixed point of function of type α → α.

def part.fix.approx {α : Type u_1} {β : α → Type u_2} (f : (Π (a : α), part (β a))Π (a : α), part (β a)) :
stream (Π (a : α), part (β a))

A series of successive, finite approximation of the fixed point of f, defined by approx f n = f^[n] ⊥. The limit of this chain is the fixed point of f.

Equations
def part.fix_aux {α : Type u_1} {β : α → Type u_2} (f : (Π (a : α), part (β a))Π (a : α), part (β a)) {p : → Prop} (i : nat.upto p) (g : Π (j : nat.upto p), i < jΠ (a : α), part (β a)) (a : α) :
part (β a)

loop body for finding the fixed point of f

def part.fix {α : Type u_1} {β : α → Type u_2} (f : (Π (a : α), part (β a))Π (a : α), part (β a)) (x : α) :
part (β x)

The least fixed point of f.

If f is a continuous function (according to complete partial orders), it satisfies the equations:

  1. fix f = f (fix f) (is a fixed point)
  2. ∀ X, f X ≤ X → fix f ≤ X (least fixed point)
