{wiki=Category:Recursion_schemes}
Recursion schemes are formal methods used in computer science and mathematics to define and work with recursive structures, particularly when dealing with data types that can be defined in terms of themselves, such as lists, trees, and other hierarchical structures. They provide a way to express recursive definitions in a more structured and general form. \#\#\# Key Concepts of Recursion Schemes: 1. **Algebraic Data Types**: Recursion schemes are often applied to algebraic data types, which can be defined recursively.
