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.
