Hylomorphism recursion functional scheme (envelope).

A hylomorphism is denoted by envelopes.

this = [[(c,f),(g,p)]] = |[(c,f),(g,p)]| = [[(c,f),(g,p)]]

A hylomorphism corresponds to the composition of an anamorphism and a catamorphism.

[[(c,f),(g,p)]] = (|c,f|) º |(g,p)| So it is very much like an anamorphism except for basevalue c instead of nil, and f instead of list construction cons.

Constructor Detail

Functionals.Hylomorphism

public Functionals.Hylomorphism(java.lang.Object c,
                                BinaryFunction f,
                                Function g,
                                Predicate p)

Constructs a new hylomorphism [[(c,f),(g,p)]]:A->C.

Parameters:

c - is an element in C that is the basevalue for p(a) = true.

f - is a binary function f:B||C->C.

g - is a function g:A->B||A that returns objects of type Pair.

p - is a predicate p subset of A saying whether to use the basevalue case.

Method Detail

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)

Description copied from interface: Functor

.

Note that functors will often provide intensional equality only, since the mathematical notion of extensional equality for functions and predicates is undecidable anyway (Proposition of Rice). Nevertheless implementations are encouraged to provide a larger subset of extensional equality as far as possible.

Specified by:

equals in interface Functor

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Specified by:

hashCode in interface Functor

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

apply

public final java.lang.Object apply(java.lang.Object a)

[[(c,f),(g,p)]] a.

hylo a	=	c	<= p(a)
	=	f(b, hylo(a'))	<= ¬p(a)
		where (b, a') = g(a)
[[(c,f),(g,p)]] := hylo

Specified by:

apply in interface Function

Parameters:

a - value in A.

Returns:

the value [[(c,f),(g,p)]] a in C.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Description copied from interface: Functor

Returns a string representation of the Functor.

This method is already provided in Object.toString(). If it is overwritten it should return a nice name for the functor.

Specified by:

toString in interface Functor

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

a nice name for the functor.
