4 unusual facts about Kleene's recursion theorem


Kleene's recursion theorem

The sequence Fk used in this proof corresponds to the Kleene chain in the proof of the Kleene fixed-point theorem.

•

Fixed-point combinators, which are used in lambda calculus for the same purpose as the first recursion theorem.

•

This restriction is similar to the restriction to continuous operators in the Kleene fixed-point theorem of order theory.

Recursion theorem

Kleene's recursion theorem, also called the fixed point theorem, in computability theory


Many-valued logic

Those most popular in the literature are three-valued (e.g., Łukasiewicz's and Kleene's, which accept the values "true", "false", and "unknown"), the finite-valued with more than three values, and the infinite-valued, such as fuzzy logic and probability logic.
