Abstract: Fixed point calculus is about the solution of recursive equations dened by a
monotonic endofunction on a partially ordered set. This tutorial discusses applications
of xed point calculus in the construction of computer programs, beginning
with standard applications and progressing to recent research.
The basic properties of least and greatest xed points are presented. Wellfoundedness
and inductive properties of relations are expressed in terms of xed
points. A class of xed point equations, ... (Update)
