However, in most functional languages, functions can be defined recursively; this capability allows recursive structures using functional suspensions.

However, it almost always refers to self-similar or recursive structures in some sense.

Systems in the special strict-feedback form have a recursive structure similar to the many-integrator system structure.

Powerful models and powerful hardware will be necessary to effectively simulate these recursive interactions of recursive structures.

Incomplete types are used to implement recursive structures; the body of the type declaration may be deferred to later in the translation unit:

In a recursive organizational structure any viable system contains, and is contained in, a viable system.

The inverse map of interior points are computed by taking advantage of the recursive structure of the curve.

Notice that not all readers/writers support cyclic, recursive or shared structures.

Just as linguists recognize recursive structure in natural languages, it appears that logic needs recursive structure.

Studies on starling vocalizations have also suggested that they may have recursive structures.
