A relation $<$ is
\bfindex{wellfounded} if it has no infinite descending chain $\cdots <
a@2 < a@1 < a@0$. Clearly, a function definition is total iff the set
of all pairs $(r,l)$, where $l$ is the argument on the left-hand side
of an equation and $r$ the argument of some recursive call on the
corresponding right-hand side, induces a wellfounded relation. 

The HOL library formalizes
some of the theory of wellfounded relations. For example
@{prop"wf r"}\index{*wf|bold} means that relation @{term[show_types]"r::('a*'a)set"} is
wellfounded.
Finally we should mention that HOL already provides the mother of all
inductions, \textbf{wellfounded
induction}\indexbold{induction!wellfounded}\index{wellfounded
induction|see{induction, wellfounded}} (@{thm[source]wf_induct}):
@{thm[display]wf_induct[no_vars]}
where @{term"wf r"} means that the relation @{term r} is wellfounded
