In functional programming, an anamorphism is a generalization of the concept of unfolds on lists.

In functional programming, an anamorphism is a generalization of the concept of unfolds on lists. Formally, anamorphisms are generic functions that can corecursively construct a result of a certain type and which is parameterized by functions that determine the next single step of the construction.

Memoizing a recursion scheme

Is it possible to memoize a recursion scheme? If so, how would you? For example, the following uses anamophism and catamorphism newtype Fix f = In (f (Fix f)) deriving instance (Eq (f (Fix f))) => Eq (Fix f) deriving instance (Ord (f (Fix f))) =>…

Swift Sequence Anamorphism

Does Swift's standard library include a list anamorphism for a Sequence or something similar? An Anamorphism on lists or sequences would be the opposite of the reduce function. So instead of collapsing a sequence down to a single value, it will…

Haskell - Expressing the Depth First Traversal of a Rose Tree as an instance of unfold, deriving it algebraically

Suppose we have a Rose Tree defined, along with the corresponding fold over the datatype. data RTree a = Node a [RTree a] foldRTree :: (a -> [b] -> b) -> RTree a -> b foldRTree f (Node x xs) = f x (map (foldRTree f) xs) A recursive definition of a…

A recursion scheme from Int -> Int?

The foldr identity is foldr (:) [] More generally, with folds you can either destroy structure and end up with a summary value or inject structure in such a way that you end up with the same output structure. [Int] -> [Int] or [Int] ->…
