  2. Mutual recursion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_recursion

    Mutual recursion is very common in functional programming, and is often used for programs written in LISP, Scheme, ML, and similar programming languages. For example, Abelson and Sussman describe how a meta-circular evaluator can be used to implement LISP with an eval-apply cycle. [7] In languages such as Prolog, mutual recursion is almost ...

  3. Anonymous recursion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_recursion

    Anonymous recursion primarily consists of calling "the current function", which results in direct recursion. Anonymous indirect recursion is possible, such as by calling "the caller (the previous function)", or, more rarely, by going further up the call stack, and this can be chained to produce mutual recursion.

  4. Corecursion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corecursion

    In computer science, corecursion is a type of operation that is dual to recursion.Whereas recursion works analytically, starting on data further from a base case and breaking it down into smaller data and repeating until one reaches a base case, corecursion works synthetically, starting from a base case and building it up, iteratively producing data further removed from a base case.

  6. Fixed-point combinator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_combinator

    The Y combinator allows recursion to be defined as a set of rewrite rules, [21] without requiring native recursion support in the language. [22] In programming languages that support anonymous functions, fixed-point combinators allow the definition and use of anonymous recursive functions, i.e. without having to bind such functions to identifiers.

  7. Reentrant mutex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reentrant_mutex

    In computer science, the reentrant mutex (recursive mutex, recursive lock) is a particular type of mutual exclusion (mutex) device that may be locked multiple times by the same process/thread, without causing a deadlock.

  8. Recursive acronym - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursive_acronym

    A recursive acronym is an acronym that refers to itself, and appears most frequently in computer programming.The term was first used in print in 1979 in Douglas Hofstadter's book Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid, in which Hofstadter invents the acronym GOD, meaning "GOD Over Djinn", to help explain infinite series, and describes it as a recursive acronym.

  9. Dekker's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dekker's_algorithm

    Dekker's algorithm is the first known correct solution to the mutual exclusion problem in concurrent programming where processes only communicate via shared memory. The solution is attributed to Dutch mathematician Th. J. Dekker by Edsger W. Dijkstra in an unpublished paper on sequential process descriptions [1] and his manuscript on cooperating sequential processes. [2]
