X Abstract

In the mainstream categorical approach to typed (total) functional programming, datatypes are modelled as initial algebras and codatatypes as terminal coalgebras. The basic function definition schemes of iteration and coiteration are modelled by constructions known as catamorphisms and anamorphisms. Primitive recursion has been captured by a construction called paramorphisms. We draw attention to the dual construction of apomorphisms, and show on examples that primitive corecursion is a useful...
