Some common primitive recursive functions: Correct Kleene page number (reL 1971 editionn on archive.org)
Line 189:
 
=== Some common primitive recursive functions ===
The following examples and definitions are from {{harvtxt|Kleene|1952|pp=223–231222–231}}. Many appear with proofs. Most also appear with similar names, either as proofs or as examples, in {{harvtxt|Boolos|Burgess|Jeffrey|2002|pp=63–70}} they add the logarithm lo(x, y) or lg(x, y) depending on the exact derivation.
 
In the following the mark " ' ", e.g. a', is the primitive mark meaning "the successor of", usually thought of as " +1", e.g. a +1 =<sub>def</sub> a'. The functions 16–20 and #G are of particular interest with respect to converting primitive recursive predicates to, and extracting them from, their "arithmetical" form expressed as [[Gödel number]]s.
