Recursive definition

In mathematics and computer science, a recursive definition, or inductive definition, is used to define the elements in a set in terms of other elements in the set (Aczel 1977:740ff). Some examples of recursively definable objects include factorials, natural numbers, Fibonacci numbers, and the Cantor ternary set.
