reduction
(foldoc)
reduction
contraction

(Or "contraction") The process of transforming an expression
according to certain reduction rules. The most important
forms are beta reduction (application of a {lambda
abstraction} to one or more argument expressions) and {delta
reduction} (application of a mathematical function to the
required number of arguments).

An evaluation strategy (or reduction strategy), determines
which part of an expression (which redex) to reduce first.
There are many such strategies.

See graph reduction, string reduction, {normal order
reduction}, applicative order reduction, {parallel
reduction}, alpha conversion, beta conversion, {delta
conversion}, eta conversion.

applicative order reduction
(foldoc)
applicative order reduction

An evaluation strategy under which an
expression is evaluated by repeatedly evaluating its leftmost
innermost redex. This means that a function's arguments are
evaluated before the function is applied. This method will
not terminate if a function is given a non-terminating
expression as an argument even if the function is not strict
in that argument. Also known as call-by-value since the
values of arguments are passed rather than their names. This
is the evaluation strategy used by ML, Scheme, Hope and
most procedural languages such as C and Pascal.

See also normal order reduction, parallel reduction.

(1995-01-25)
beta reduction
(foldoc)
beta reduction

[lambda-calculus] The application of a {lambda
abstraction} to an argument expression. A copy of the body of
the lambda abstraction is made and occurrences of the {bound
variable} being replaced by the argument. E.g.

(\ x . x+1) 4 --> 4+1

Beta reduction is the only kind of reduction in the {pure
lambda-calculus}. The opposite of beta reduction is {beta
abstraction}. These are the two kinds of beta conversion.
