Least fixed point — In order theory, a branch of mathematics, the least fixed point (lfp or LFP) of a function is the fixed point which is less than or equal to all other fixed points, according to some partial order. For example, the least fixed point of the real… … Wikipedia
Corecursion — In computer science, corecursion is a type of operation that is dual to recursion. Corecursion and codata allow total languages to work with infinite data structures such as streams. Corecursion is often used in conjunction with lazy evaluation.… … Wikipedia
