This chapter is dedicated to the most important definition principle after
|
|
6 |
recursive functions and datatypes: inductively defined sets.

We start with a simple example: the set of even numbers.
|
|
9 |
A slightly more complicated example, the
|
10242
|
10 |
reflexive transitive closure, is the subject of {\S}\ref{sec:rtc}. In particular,
|
|
11 |
some standard induction heuristics are discussed. To demonstrate the
|
|
12 |
versatility of inductive definitions, {\S}\ref{sec:CFG} presents a case study
|
|
13 |
from the realm of context-free grammars. The chapter closes with a discussion
|
|
14 |
of advanced forms of inductive definitions.
