Inÿnite trees form a free completely iterative theory over any given signature-this fact, proved by Elgot, Bloom and Tindell, turns out to be a special case of a much more general categorical result exhibited in the present paper. We prove that whenever an endofunctor H of a category has ÿnal coalge

The algebra of infinite trees is, as proved by C. Elgot, completely iterative, i.e., all ideal recursive equations are uniquely solvable. This is proved here to be a general coalgebraic phenomenon: let H be an endofunctor such that for every object X a final coalgebra, T X, of H( )+X exists. Then T
Two well-known results on the unified treatment of finite termination of a class of algorithms for solving convex programming problems and for solving variational inequality problems are reconsidered. In particular, some of the underlying assumptions employed in the existing literature are shown to
