The W construction as a multivariate polynomial functor.

W types are well-founded tree-like structures. They are defined as the least fixpoint of a polynomial functor.

Main definitions

• W_mk - constructor
• `W_dest - destructor
• W_rec - recursor: basis for defining functions by structural recursion on P.W α
• W_rec_eq - defining equation for W_rec
• W_ind - induction principle for P.W α

Implementation notes

Three views of M-types:

• wp: polynomial functor
• W: data type inductively defined by a triple: shape of the root, data in the root and children of the root
• W: least fixed point of a polynomial functor

Specifically, we define the polynomial functor wp as:

• A := a tree-like structure without information in the nodes
• B := given the tree-like structure t, B t is a valid path (specified inductively by W_path) from the root of t to any given node.

As a result wp α is made of a dataless tree and a function from its valid paths to values of α

Yet another view of the W type: as a fixed point for a multivariate polynomial functor. These are needed to use the W-construction to construct a fixed point of a qpf, since the qpf axioms are expressed in terms of map on P.
