  • Recursion means an item repeats in a self-similar way. A mathematical function made with recursion, also called induction, involves defining some values with one or more base cases and defining the rest in terms of other values of the same function. For example, the factorial function x! is defined with the following rules: * 0! = 1 * x! = x * (x - 1)!, that is, a number's factorial is the number times the previous number's factorial. Thus, 1! = 1 * 0! = 1, 2! = 2 * 1! = 2, 3! = 3 * 2! = 6, 4! = 4 * 3! = 24, 5! = 5 * 4! = 120, etc.
  • In mathematics, recursion describes a situation where a function's output is plugged back into it. If we have a function \(f(x)\), we can recurse it to form functions \(f(f(x))\), \(f(f(f(x)))\), etc. \(f(f(\ldots f(f(x))\ldots ))\) with \(t\) copies of \(f\) is often abbreviated \(f^t(x)\). Recursion is very important to googology since it easily produces quickly-growing functions. If \(f(x)\) displays rapid growth, \(f^t(x)\) will grow much faster for large \(t\). Examples of recursive hierarchies are FGH, HAN, Hyper-E Notation and Bird's array notation.

  • Recursion means an item repeats in a self-similar way. A mathematical function made with recursion, also called induction, involves defining some values with one or more base cases and defining the rest in terms of other values of the same function. For example, the factorial function x! is defined with the following rules: * 0! = 1 * x! = x * (x - 1)!, that is, a number's factorial is the number times the previous number's factorial. Thus, 1! = 1 * 0! = 1, 2! = 2 * 1! = 2, 3! = 3 * 2! = 6, 4! = 4 * 3! = 24, 5! = 5 * 4! = 120, etc. Recursion in computer science involves a method, function, or subroutine calling itself. For example, a "flood fill" or "paint bucket" tool fills matching pixels to the left and to the right and then applies the tool to the pixels above and below the pixels that were changed. Programs written in languages descended from Lisp make heavy use of recursion. Subtropes include Recursive Reality. Can induce a Mind Screw. If you don't already understand this concept, see also Recursion.

  • In mathematics, recursion describes a situation where a function's output is plugged back into it. If we have a function \(f(x)\), we can recurse it to form functions \(f(f(x))\), \(f(f(f(x)))\), etc. \(f(f(\ldots f(f(x))\ldots ))\) with \(t\) copies of \(f\) is often abbreviated \(f^t(x)\). Recursion is very important to googology since it easily produces quickly-growing functions. If \(f(x)\) displays rapid growth, \(f^t(x)\) will grow much faster for large \(t\). Every primitive recursive function breaks into two types of rules: base case, where for some argument value is given immediately, and recursive rule, where function applies for itself. A recursive hierarchy of functions must have three rules: "brake" rule (starting function), "plugging" rule (it tells how many times the previous function must be plugged) and "decomposing" rule (for diagonalizing purposes, it finds the fundamental sequences of so-called limit ordinals). Examples of recursive hierarchies are FGH, HAN, Hyper-E Notation and Bird's array notation.
