Initial algebra

In mathematics, an initial algebra is an initial object in the category of F-algebras for a given endofunctor F. The initiality provides a general framework for induction and recursion.

For instance, consider the endofunctor 1+(-) on the category of sets, where 1 is the one-point (singleton) set, the terminal object in the category. An algebra for this endofunctor is a set X (called the carrier of the algebra) together with a point x\in X and a function X\to X. The set of natural numbers is the carrier of the initial such algebra: the point is zero and the function is the successor map.
