(*2*)lemma adm_wf_unique_fixpoint:
fixes r :: "('a * 'a) set" and
      H :: "('a \<Rightarrow> 'b) \<Rightarrow> 'a \<Rightarrow> 'b" and
      f :: "'a \<Rightarrow> 'b" and g :: "'a \<Rightarrow> 'b"
assumes WF: "wf r" and ADM: "adm_wf r H" and fFP: "f = H f" and gFP: "g = H g"
shows "f = g"
proof-
  {fix x
   have "f x = g x"

         auto simp add: WF)
     fix x assume "\<forall>y. (y, x) \<in> r \<longrightarrow> f y = g y"
