2.4.20  "Strong" transfinite recursion
Syntax	crecs 8310	Notation for a function defined by strong transfinite recursion.
class recs(𝐹)
Definition	df-recs 8311	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 8349 for more details on why this definition is desirable. Unlike df-rdg 8349 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 8342 and recsval 8343 for the primary contract of this definition. (Contributed by Stefan O'Rear, 18-Jan-2015.) (Revised by Scott Fenton, 3-Aug-2020.)
⊢ recs(𝐹) = wrecs( E , On, 𝐹)
Theorem	dfrecs3 8312*	The old definition of transfinite recursion. This version is preferred for development, as it demonstrates the properties of transfinite recursion without relying on well-ordered recursion. (Contributed by Scott Fenton, 3-Aug-2020.) (Proof revised by Scott Fenton, 18-Nov-2024.)
⊢ recs(𝐹) = ∪ {𝑓 ∣ ∃𝑥 ∈ On (𝑓 Fn 𝑥 ∧ ∀𝑦 ∈ 𝑥 (𝑓‘𝑦) = (𝐹‘(𝑓 ↾ 𝑦)))}

Theorem	tfrlem1 8315*	A technical lemma for transfinite recursion. Compare Lemma 1 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 47. (Contributed by NM, 23-Mar-1995.) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 24-May-2019.)

Theorem	tfrlem3a 8316*	Lemma for transfinite recursion. Let 𝐴 be the class of "acceptable" functions. The final thing we're interested in is the union of all these acceptable functions. This lemma just changes some bound variables in 𝐴 for later use. (Contributed by NM, 9-Apr-1995.)

Theorem	tfrlem3 8317*	Lemma for transfinite recursion. Let 𝐴 be the class of "acceptable" functions. The final thing we're interested in is the union of all these acceptable functions. This lemma just changes some bound variables in 𝐴 for later use. (Contributed by NM, 9-Apr-1995.)

Theorem	tfrlem4 8318*	Lemma for transfinite recursion. 𝐴 is the class of all "acceptable" functions, and 𝐹 is their union. First we show that an acceptable function is in fact a function. (Contributed by NM, 9-Apr-1995.)

Theorem	tfrlem8 8323*	Lemma for transfinite recursion. The domain of recs is an ordinal. (Contributed by NM, 14-Aug-1994.) (Proof shortened by Alan Sare, 11-Mar-2008.)

Theorem	tfrlem9 8324*	Lemma for transfinite recursion. Here we compute the value of recs (the union of all acceptable functions). (Contributed by NM, 17-Aug-1994.)
⊢ 𝐴 = {𝑓 ∣ ∃𝑥 ∈ On (𝑓 Fn 𝑥 ∧ ∀𝑦 ∈ 𝑥 (𝑓‘𝑦) = (𝐹‘(𝑓 ↾ 𝑦)))}    ⇒   ⊢ (𝐵 ∈ dom recs(𝐹) → (recs(𝐹)‘𝐵) = (𝐹‘(recs(𝐹) ↾ 𝐵)))
Theorem	tfrlem9a 8325*	Lemma for transfinite recursion. Without using ax-rep 5212, show that all the restrictions of recs are sets. (Contributed by Mario Carneiro, 16-Nov-2014.)
⊢ 𝐴 = {𝑓 ∣ ∃𝑥 ∈ On (𝑓 Fn 𝑥 ∧ ∀𝑦 ∈ 𝑥 (𝑓‘𝑦) = (𝐹‘(𝑓 ↾ 𝑦)))}    ⇒   ⊢ (𝐵 ∈ dom recs(𝐹) → (recs(𝐹) ↾ 𝐵) ∈ V)
Theorem	tfrlem10 8326*	Lemma for transfinite recursion. We define class 𝐶 by extending recs with one ordered pair. We will assume, falsely, that domain of recs is a member of, and thus not equal to, On. Using this assumption we will prove facts about 𝐶 that will lead to a contradiction in tfrlem14 8330, thus showing the domain of recs does in fact equal On. Here we show (under the false assumption) that 𝐶 is a function extending the domain of recs(𝐹) by one. (Contributed by NM, 14-Aug-1994.) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 9-May-2015.)
⊢ 𝐴 = {𝑓 ∣ ∃𝑥 ∈ On (𝑓 Fn 𝑥 ∧ ∀𝑦 ∈ 𝑥 (𝑓‘𝑦) = (𝐹‘(𝑓 ↾ 𝑦)))}    &   ⊢ 𝐶 = (recs(𝐹) ∪ {⟨dom recs(𝐹), (𝐹‘recs(𝐹))⟩})    ⇒   ⊢ (dom recs(𝐹) ∈ On → 𝐶 Fn suc dom recs(𝐹))
Theorem	tfrlem11 8327*	Lemma for transfinite recursion. Compute the value of 𝐶. (Contributed by NM, 18-Aug-1994.) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 9-May-2015.)
⊢ 𝐴 = {𝑓 ∣ ∃𝑥 ∈ On (𝑓 Fn 𝑥 ∧ ∀𝑦 ∈ 𝑥 (𝑓‘𝑦) = (𝐹‘(𝑓 ↾ 𝑦)))}    &   ⊢ 𝐶 = (recs(𝐹) ∪ {⟨dom recs(𝐹), (𝐹‘recs(𝐹))⟩})    ⇒   ⊢ (dom recs(𝐹) ∈ On → (𝐵 ∈ suc dom recs(𝐹) → (𝐶‘𝐵) = (𝐹‘(𝐶 ↾ 𝐵))))
Theorem	tfrlem12 8328*	Lemma for transfinite recursion. Show 𝐶 is an acceptable function. (Contributed by NM, 15-Aug-1994.) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 9-May-2015.)
⊢ 𝐴 = {𝑓 ∣ ∃𝑥 ∈ On (𝑓 Fn 𝑥 ∧ ∀𝑦 ∈ 𝑥 (𝑓‘𝑦) = (𝐹‘(𝑓 ↾ 𝑦)))}    &   ⊢ 𝐶 = (recs(𝐹) ∪ {⟨dom recs(𝐹), (𝐹‘recs(𝐹))⟩})    ⇒   ⊢ (recs(𝐹) ∈ V → 𝐶 ∈ 𝐴)
Theorem	tfrlem13 8329*	Lemma for transfinite recursion. If recs is a set function, then 𝐶 is acceptable, and thus a subset of recs, but dom 𝐶 is bigger than dom recs. This is a contradiction, so recs must be a proper class function. (Contributed by NM, 14-Aug-1994.) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 14-Nov-2014.)
⊢ 𝐴 = {𝑓 ∣ ∃𝑥 ∈ On (𝑓 Fn 𝑥 ∧ ∀𝑦 ∈ 𝑥 (𝑓‘𝑦) = (𝐹‘(𝑓 ↾ 𝑦)))}    ⇒   ⊢ ¬ recs(𝐹) ∈ V
Theorem	tfrlem14 8330*	Lemma for transfinite recursion. Assuming ax-rep 5212, dom recs ∈ V ↔ recs ∈ V, so since dom recs is an ordinal, it must be equal to On. (Contributed by NM, 14-Aug-1994.) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 9-May-2015.)
⊢ 𝐴 = {𝑓 ∣ ∃𝑥 ∈ On (𝑓 Fn 𝑥 ∧ ∀𝑦 ∈ 𝑥 (𝑓‘𝑦) = (𝐹‘(𝑓 ↾ 𝑦)))}    ⇒   ⊢ dom recs(𝐹) = On
Theorem	tfrlem15 8331*	Lemma for transfinite recursion. Without assuming ax-rep 5212, we can show that all proper initial subsets of recs are sets, while nothing larger is a set. (Contributed by Mario Carneiro, 14-Nov-2014.)
⊢ 𝐴 = {𝑓 ∣ ∃𝑥 ∈ On (𝑓 Fn 𝑥 ∧ ∀𝑦 ∈ 𝑥 (𝑓‘𝑦) = (𝐹‘(𝑓 ↾ 𝑦)))}    ⇒   ⊢ (𝐵 ∈ On → (𝐵 ∈ dom recs(𝐹) ↔ (recs(𝐹) ↾ 𝐵) ∈ V))
Theorem	tfrlem16 8332*	Lemma for finite recursion. Without assuming ax-rep 5212, we can show that the domain of the constructed function is a limit ordinal, and hence contains all the finite ordinals. (Contributed by Mario Carneiro, 14-Nov-2014.)
⊢ 𝐴 = {𝑓 ∣ ∃𝑥 ∈ On (𝑓 Fn 𝑥 ∧ ∀𝑦 ∈ 𝑥 (𝑓‘𝑦) = (𝐹‘(𝑓 ↾ 𝑦)))}    ⇒   ⊢ Lim dom recs(𝐹)

Theorem	tfr2b 8335	Without assuming ax-rep 5212, we can show that all proper initial subsets of recs are sets, while nothing larger is a set. (Contributed by Mario Carneiro, 24-Jun-2015.)
⊢ 𝐹 = recs(𝐺)    ⇒   ⊢ (Ord 𝐴 → (𝐴 ∈ dom 𝐹 ↔ (𝐹 ↾ 𝐴) ∈ V))
Theorem	tfr1 8336	Principle of Transfinite Recursion, part 1 of 3. Theorem 7.41(1) of [TakeutiZaring] p. 47. We start with an arbitrary class 𝐺, normally a function, and define a class 𝐴 of all "acceptable" functions. The final function we're interested in is the union 𝐹 = recs(𝐺) of them. 𝐹 is then said to be defined by transfinite recursion. The purpose of the 3 parts of this theorem is to demonstrate properties of 𝐹. In this first part we show that 𝐹 is a function whose domain is all ordinal numbers. (Contributed by NM, 17-Aug-1994.) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 18-Jan-2015.)
⊢ 𝐹 = recs(𝐺)    ⇒   ⊢ 𝐹 Fn On
Theorem	tfr2 8337	Principle of Transfinite Recursion, part 2 of 3. Theorem 7.41(2) of [TakeutiZaring] p. 47. Here we show that the function 𝐹 has the property that for any function 𝐺 whatsoever, the "next" value of 𝐹 is 𝐺 recursively applied to all "previous" values of 𝐹. (Contributed by NM, 9-Apr-1995.) (Revised by Stefan O'Rear, 18-Jan-2015.)
⊢ 𝐹 = recs(𝐺)    ⇒   ⊢ (𝐴 ∈ On → (𝐹‘𝐴) = (𝐺‘(𝐹 ↾ 𝐴)))
Theorem	tfr3 8338*	Principle of Transfinite Recursion, part 3 of 3. Theorem 7.41(3) of [TakeutiZaring] p. 47. Finally, we show that 𝐹 is unique. We do this by showing that any class 𝐵 with the same properties of 𝐹 that we showed in parts 1 and 2 is identical to 𝐹. (Contributed by NM, 18-Aug-1994.) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 9-May-2015.)

⊢ (𝐴 ∈ On → (recs(𝐹)‘𝐴) = (𝐹‘(recs(𝐹) ↾ 𝐴)))
Theorem	tz7.44lem1 8344*	The ordered pair abstraction 𝐺 defined in the hypothesis is a function. This was a lemma for tz7.44-1 8345, tz7.44-2 8346, and tz7.44-3 8347 when they used that definition of 𝐺. Now, they use the maps-to df-mpt 5167 idiom so this lemma is not needed anymore, but is kept in case other applications (for instance in intuitionistic set theory) need it. (Contributed by NM, 23-Apr-1995.) (Revised by David Abernethy, 19-Jun-2012.)

2.4.21  Recursive definition generator
Syntax	crdg 8348	Extend class notation with the recursive definition generator, with characteristic function 𝐹 and initial value 𝐼.
class rec(𝐹, 𝐼)
Definition	df-rdg 8349*	Define a recursive definition generator on On (the class of ordinal numbers) with characteristic function 𝐹 and initial value 𝐼. This combines functions 𝐹 in tfr1 8336 and 𝐺 in tz7.44-1 8345 into one definition. This rather amazing operation allows to define, with compact direct definitions, functions that are usually defined in textbooks only with indirect self-referencing recursive definitions. A recursive definition requires advanced metalogic to justify - in particular, eliminating a recursive definition is very difficult and often not even shown in textbooks. On the other hand, the elimination of a direct definition is a matter of simple mechanical substitution. The price paid is the daunting complexity of our rec operation (especially when df-recs 8311 that it is built on is also eliminated). But once we get past this hurdle, definitions that would otherwise be recursive become relatively simple, as in for example oav 8446, from which we prove the recursive textbook definition as Theorems oa0 8451, oasuc 8459, and oalim 8467 (with the help of Theorems rdg0 8360, rdgsuc 8363, and rdglim2a 8372). We can also restrict the rec operation to define otherwise recursive functions on the natural numbers ω; see fr0g 8375 and frsuc 8376. Our rec operation apparently does not appear in published literature, although closely related is Definition 25.2 of [Quine] p. 177, which he uses to "turn...a recursion into a genuine or direct definition" (p. 174). Note that the if operations (see df-if 4467) select cases based on whether the domain of 𝑔 is zero, a successor, or a limit ordinal. An important use of this definition is in the recursive sequence generator df-seq 13964 on the natural numbers (as a subset of the complex numbers), allowing us to define, with direct definitions, recursive infinite sequences such as the factorial function df-fac 14236 and integer powers df-exp 14024. Note: We introduce rec with the philosophical goal of being able to eliminate all definitions with direct mechanical substitution and to verify easily the soundness of definitions. Metamath itself has no built-in technical limitation that prevents multiple-part recursive definitions in the traditional textbook style. (Contributed by NM, 9-Apr-1995.)
