Equational Functions
In addition to being constructed from primitives by functionals, a function may be defined recursively by an equation, the simplest kind being:
f ≡ Efwhere E'f is an expression built from primitives, other defined functions, and the function symbol f itself, using functionals.

Famous quotes containing the word functions:
“The English masses are lovable: they are kind, decent, tolerant, practical and not stupid. The tragedy is that there are too many of them, and that they are aimless, having outgrown the servile functions for which they were encouraged to multiply. One day these huge crowds will have to seize power because there will be nothing else for them to do, and yet they neither demand power nor are ready to make use of it; they will learn only to be bored in a new way.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
