2.4.15  "Strong" transfinite recursion
Syntax	crecs 7427	Notation for a function defined by strong transfinite recursion.
class recs(𝐹)
Definition	df-recs 7428	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 7466 for more details on why this definition is desirable. Unlike df-rdg 7466 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 7459 and recsval 7460 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	tfrlem3a 7433*	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	tfrlem9a 7442*	Lemma for transfinite recursion. Without using ax-rep 4741, 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 7443*	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 7447, 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 7444*	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 7445*	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 7446*	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 7447*	Lemma for transfinite recursion. Assuming ax-rep 4741, 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 7448*	Lemma for transfinite recursion. Without assuming ax-rep 4741, 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 7449*	Lemma for finite recursion. Without assuming ax-rep 4741, 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.)

Theorem	tfr2b 7452	Without assuming ax-rep 4741, 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 7453	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 7454	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.)

Theorem	tfr3 7455*	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.)

2.4.16  Recursive definition generator
Syntax	crdg 7465	Extend class notation with the recursive definition generator, with characteristic function 𝐹 and initial value 𝐼.
class rec(𝐹, 𝐼)
Definition	df-rdg 7466*	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 7453 and 𝐺 in tz7.44-1 7462 into one definition. This rather amazing operation allows us 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 7428 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 7551, from which we prove the recursive textbook definition as theorems oa0 7556, oasuc 7564, and oalim 7572 (with the help of theorems rdg0 7477, rdgsuc 7480, and rdglim2a 7489). We can also restrict the rec operation to define otherwise recursive functions on the natural numbers ω; see fr0g 7491 and frsuc 7492. 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 4065) 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 12758 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 13017 and integer powers df-exp 12817. 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.)
