2.4.17  Well-founded recursion
Syntax	cfrecs 8210	Declare the syntax for the well-founded recursion generator. See df-frecs 8211.
class frecs(𝑅, 𝐴, 𝐹)
Definition	df-frecs 8211*	This is the definition for the well-founded recursion generator. Similar to df-wrecs 8242 and df-recs 8291, it is a direct definition form of normally recursive relationships. Unlike the former two definitions, it only requires a well-founded set-like relationship for its properties, not a well-ordered relationship. This proof requires either a partial order or the axiom of infinity. We develop the theorems twice, once with a partial order and once without. The second development occurs later in the database, after ax-inf 9528 has been introduced. (Contributed by Scott Fenton, 23-Dec-2021.)

Theorem	frrlem11 8226*	Lemma for well-founded recursion. For the next several theorems we will be aiming to prove that dom 𝐹 = 𝐴. To do this, we set up a function 𝐶 that supposedly contains an element of 𝐴 that is not in dom 𝐹 and we show that the element must be in dom 𝐹. Our choice of what to restrict 𝐹 to depends on if we assume partial orders or the axiom of infinity. To begin with, we establish the functionality of 𝐶. (Contributed by Scott Fenton, 7-Dec-2022.)

Theorem	wfr1 8256	The Principle of Well-Ordered Recursion, part 1 of 3. We start with an arbitrary function 𝐺. Then, using a base class 𝐴 and a set-like well-ordering 𝑅 of 𝐴, we define a function 𝐹. This function is said to be defined by "well-ordered recursion". The purpose of these three theorems is to demonstrate the properties of 𝐹. We begin by showing that 𝐹 is a function over 𝐴.

class recs(𝐹)
Definition	df-recs 8291	Define a function recs(𝐹) on On, the class of ordinal numbers, by transfinite recursion given a rule 𝐹 which sets the next value given all values so far. See df-rdg 8329 for more details on why this definition is desirable. Unlike df-rdg 8329 which restricts the update rule to use only the previous value, this version allows the update rule to use all previous values, which is why it is described as "strong", although it is actually more primitive. See recsfnon 8322 and recsval 8323 for the primary contract of this definition. (Contributed by Stefan O'Rear, 18-Jan-2015.) (Revised by Scott Fenton, 3-Aug-2020.)
