Assignment 5: The Recursion Theorem

Prove the Recursion Theorem on page 16 of Nathan Jacobson's Basic Algebra I (W. H. Freeman and Company, 1974). You can find the statement of the theorem and lots of useful supporting lemmas in as5.tar (which has more files than the proving.tar of previous assignments).

For easy reference, here is a statement of the theorem in our logic.

Suggested method: Start by proving these lemmas
