The primitive recursive functions #
The primitive recursive functions are the least collection of functions
ℕ → ℕ
which are closed under projections (using the pair
pairing function), composition, zero, successor, and primitive recursion
(i.e. Nat.rec
where the motive is C n := ℕ
).
We can extend this definition to a large class of basic types by
using canonical encodings of types as natural numbers (Gödel numbering),
which we implement through the type class Encodable
. (More precisely,
we need that the composition of encode with decode yields a
primitive recursive function, so we have the Primcodable
type class
for this.)
References #
Calls the given function on a pair of entries n
, encoded via the pairing function.

Primrec₂ f
means f
is a binary primitive recursive function.
This is technically unnecessary since we can always curry all
the arguments together, but there are enough natural two-arg
functions that it is convenient to express this directly.

PrimrecPred p
means p : α → Prop

primitive recursive predicate, which is to say that
decide ∘ p : α → Bool

A function is PrimrecBounded
if its size is bounded by a primitive recursive function

Instances For
To show a function f : α → ℕ
is primitive recursive, it is enough to show that the function
is bounded by a primitive recursive function and that its graph is primitive recursive

An alternative inductive definition of Primrec
which
does not use the pairing function on ℕ, and so has to
work with n-ary functions on ℕ instead of unary functions.
We prove that this is equivalent to the regular notion
in to_prim
and of_prim
.
