Abstract: Fixed point calculus is about the solution of recursive equations de ned 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, ...
