Recursiveacronym Formal languages and grammars Category Computability theory Category Formal languages ...A recursive language in mathematics , logic and computer science is a type of formal language which is also called decidable or Turing decidable . The class of all recursive languages is often called R complexity R , although this name is also used for the class RP complexity RP . This type of language was not defined in the Chomsky hierarchy of Harv Chomsky 1959 . Definitions There are two equivalent major definitions for the concept of a recursive language A recursive formal language is a recursive set recursive subset in the set mathematics set of all possible words over the alphabet of the formal language language . A recursive language is a formal language for which there exists a Turing machine which will, when presented with any finite input literal string string , halt and accept if the string is in the language, and halt and reject otherwise. The Turing machine always halts it is known as a Machine that always halts decider and is said to decide the recursive language. By the second definition, any decision problem can be shown to be decidable by exhibiting an algorithm for it that terminates on all inputs. An undecidable problem is a problem that is not decidable. All recursive languages are also recursively enumerable language recursively enumerable . All regular language regular , context free language context free and context sensitive language context sensitive languages are recursive. Closure properties Recursive languages are closure mathematics closed under the following operations.

In mathematics , specifically set theory , an ordinal number ordinal math alpha math is said to be recursive if there is a recursive set recursive binary relation math R math that well order s a subset of the natural numbers and the order type of that ordering is math alpha math . It is trivial to check that math omega math is recursive, the successor ordinal successor of a recursive ordinal is recursive, and the Set mathematics set of all recursive ordinals is closure mathematics closed downwards. We call the supremum of all recursive ordinals the Church Kleene ordinal and denote it by math omega CK 1 math . Since the recursive relations are parameter parameterized by the natural numbers, the recursive ordinals are also parameterized by the natural numbers. Therefore, there are only countable countably many recursive ordinals. Thus, math omega CK 1 math is countable. The recursive ordinals are exactly the ordinals that have an ordinal notation in Kleene s O Kleene s math mathcal O math .

In signal processing , a recursive filter is a type of filter signal processing filter which re uses one or more of its outputs as an input. This feedback typically results in an unending impulse response commonly referred to as infinite impulse response IIR , characterised by either exponential growth exponentially growing , exponential decay decaying , or sinusoid al signal output components. However, a recursive filter does not always have an infinite impulse response. Some implementations of moving average filter are recursive filters but with a Finite impulse response.

In graph theory , a discipline within mathematics, a recursive tree i.e., unordered tree is a non planar labeled rooted tree graph theory tree . A size n recursive tree is labeled by distinct integers 1, 2, ..., n , where the labels are strictly increasing starting at the root labeled 1. Recursive trees are non planar, which means that the children of a particular node are not ordered. E.g. the following two size three recursive trees are the same. pre 1 1 2 3 3 2 pre Recursive trees also appear in the literature under the name Increasing Cayley trees. Properties The number of size n recursive trees is given by math T n n 1 . , math Hence the exponential generating function T z of the sequence T sub n sub is given by math T z sum n ge 1 T n frac z n n log left frac 1 1 z right . math Combinatorically a recursive tree can be interpreted as a root followed by an unordered sequence of recursive trees. Let F denote the family of recursive trees. math F circ frac 1 1 cdot circ times F frac 1 2 cdot circ times F F frac 1 3 cdot circ times F F F cdots circ times exp F , math where math circ math denotes the node labeled by 1, × the Cartesian product and math math the partition product for labeled objects. By translation of the formal description one obtains the differential equation for T z math T z exp T z , math with T 0 0. Bijections There are bijection bijective correspondences between recursive trees of size n and permutation s of size n &minus 1.

In computability theory , a Set mathematics set of natural number s is called recursive , computable or decidable if there is an algorithm which terminates after a finite amount of time and correctly decides whether or not a given number belongs to the set. A more general class of sets consists of the recursively enumerable set s, also called semidecidable sets. For these sets, it is only required that there is an algorithm that correctly decides when a number is in the set the algorithm may give no answer but not the wrong answer for numbers not in the set. A set which is not computable is called noncomputable or undecidable . Formal definition A subset math var S var of the natural number s is called recursive if there exists a total function total computable function math f such that math f var x var 1 if math var x var &isin var S var and math f var x var 0 if math var x var ¬in var S var .

Unreferenced date December 2006 Orphan date February 2009 The recursive join is an operation used in relational databases , also sometimes called a fixed point join . It is a compound operation that involves repeating the join SQL join operation, typically accumulating more records each time, until a repetition makes no change to the results as compared to the results of the previous iteration . For example, if a database of family relationships is to be searched, and the record for each person has mother and father fields, a recursive join would be one way to retrieve all of a person s known ancestors first the person s direct parents records would be retrieved, then the parents information would be used to retrieve the grandparents records, and so on until no new records are being found. In this example, as in many real cases, the repetition involves only a single database table, and so is more specifically a recursive self join . Recursive joins can be very time consuming unless optimized through indexing, the addition of extra key fields, or other techniques. Recursive joins are highly characteristic of hierarchical data, and therefore become a serious issue with XML data. In XML, operations such as determining whether one element contains another are extremely common, and the recursive join is perhaps the most obvious way to implement them when the XML data is stored in a relational database.

citations missing article date March 2007 Recursive Recycling is a technique where a function, in order to accomplish a task, calls itself with some part of the task or output from a previous step. In municipal solid waste and waste reclamation processing it is the process of extracting and converting materials from recycled materials derived from the previous step until all subsequent levels of output are extracted or used. Example Level 1 Recursive Solid waste or municipal solid waste can be treated, sanitized and separated under steam in a pressure vessel waste autoclave . Following the processing under steam and removal of toxic materials via condensate filtering, usable recyclables are immediately extracted for reuse plastics, ferrous metals, aluminum , glass, wood, etc. . Level 2 Recursive Organic material s from the original waste stream are converted to a fiber using steam at 60 psi and 160 C. The converted organics sanitary fiber is size reduced by 85 and can be used to produce bio fuels using acidic hydrolysis or enzymatic hydrolysis as Ethanol or may be used as Refuse Derived Fuel RDF . Level 3 Recursive After the monosacrides are extracted for distillation , the remaining residue used fiber can be used as a feed stock for electricity production. Level 4 Recursive Finally, the non toxic ash from the combusted fiber can be collected and used as a filler for preparation in super concrete and then reused in combination with similar materials gravel, stones, pottery, glass to form aggregate for construction materials.

Orphan date November 2006 When number generally large number is represented in a finite alphabet set, and it cannot be represented by just one member of the set, Recursive indexing is used. Recursive indexing itself is a method to write the successive differences of the number after extracting the maximum value of the alphabet set from the number, and continuing recursively till the difference falls in the range of the set. Recursive indexing with a 2 letter alphabet is called Unary code . Encoding To encode a number N , keep reducing the maximum element of this set S sub max sub from N and output S max for each such difference, stopping when the number lies in the half closed half open range 0 S sub max sub . Example Let set S 0 1 2 3 4 10 , be a 11 element set, and we have to recursively index the value N 49. According to this method, we need to keep removing 10 from 49, and keep proceeding till we reach a number in the 0 10 range. So the values are 10 N 49 10 39 , 10 N 39 10 29 , 10 N 29 10 19 , 10 N 19 10 9 , 9. Hence the recursively indexed sequence for N 49 with set S , is 10,10,10,10,9. Decoding Keep adding all the elements of the index, stopping when the index value is between inclusive of ends the least and penultimate elements of the set S . Example Continuing from above example we have 10 10 10 10 9 49. Uses This technique is most commonly used in RLE Run Length Encoding systems to encode longer runs than the alphabet sizes permit.

Tail recursive parsers are derived from the more common Recursive descent parser s. Tail recursive parsers are commonly used to parse left recursive grammars. They use a smaller amount of stack space than regular recursive descent parsers. They are also easy to write. Typical recursive descent parsers make parsing left recursive grammars impossible because of an infinite loop problem . Tail recursive parsers use a node reparenting technique that makes this allowable. Given an EBNF Grammar such as the following E T T T F F F F I I I identifier A simple tail recursive parser can be written much like a recursive descent parser. The typical algorithm for parsing a grammar like this using an Abstract syntax tree is Parse the next level of the grammar and get its output tree, designate it the first tree, F While there is terminating token, T, that can be put as the parent of this node Allocate a new node, N Set N s current operator as the current input token Advance the input one token Set N s left subtree as F Parse another level down again and store this as the next tree, X Set N s right subtree as X Set F to N Return N A C programming language implementation of this parser is shown here source lang c typedef struct exptree exptree struct exptree char token exptree left exptree right exptree parse e void return parse t exptree parse t void exptree first f parse f while cur token exptree replace tree alloc tree replace tree token cur token replace tree left first f next token replace tree right parse f first f replace tree return first f exptree parse f void exptree first i parse i while cur token exptree replace tree alloc tree replace tree token cur token replace tree left first i next token replace tree right parse i first i replace tree return first i exptree parse i void exptree i alloc tree exptree left exptree right NULL exptree token cur token next token return i source ....
