Fixed point (mathematics) — Not to be confused with a stationary point where f (x) = 0. A function with three fixed points In mathematics, a fixed point (sometimes shortened to fixpoint, also known as an invariant point) of a function is a point[1] that is … Wikipedia
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

Knaster–Tarski theorem — In the mathematical areas of order and lattice theory, the Knaster–Tarski theorem, named after Bronisław Knaster and Alfred Tarski, states the following:: Let L be a complete lattice and let f : L → L be an order preserving function. Then the set … Wikipedia

Bisimulation — In theoretical computer science a bisimulation is a binary relation between state transition systems, associating systems which behave in the same way in the sense that one system simulates the other and vice versa.Intuitively two systems are… … Wikipedia
Initial algebra — In mathematics, an initial algebra is an initial object in the category of F algebras for a given endofunctor F . The initiality provides a general framework for induction and recursion. For instance, consider the endofunctor 1+( ) on the… … Wikipedia
F-algebra — In mathematics, specifically in category theory, an F algebra for an endofunctor :F : mathbf{C}longrightarrow mathbf{C} is an object A of mathbf{C} together with a mathbf{C} morphism :alpha : FA longrightarrow A. In this sense F algebras are dual … Wikipedia
Modal μ-calculus — In theoretical computer science, the modal μ calculus (also μ calculus, but this can have a more general meaning) is an extension of propositional modal logic (with many modalities) by adding a least fixpoint operator μ and a greatest fixpoint… … Wikipedia
