In computability theory, Bekić's theorem or Bekić's lemma is a theorem about fixed-points which allows splitting a mutual recursion into recursions on one variable at a time. It was created by Hans Bekić in 1969, and published posthumously in a book by Cliff Jones in 1984. Bekić's theorem (called the "bisection lemma" in his notes) is that the simultaneous least fixed point can be separated into a series of least fixed points on and , in particular: Proof (Bekić):

| - In computability theory, Bekić's theorem or Bekić's lemma is a theorem about fixed-points which allows splitting a mutual recursion into recursions on one variable at a time. It was created by Hans Bekić in 1969, and published posthumously in a book by Cliff Jones in 1984. The theorem is set up as follows. Consider two operators and on pointed directed-complete partial orders and , continuous in each component. Then define the operator . This is monotone with respect to the product order (componentwise order). By the Kleene fixed-point theorem, it has a least fixed point , a pair in such that and . Bekić's theorem (called the "bisection lemma" in his notes) is that the simultaneous least fixed point can be separated into a series of least fixed points on and , in particular: Proof (Bekić): since it is the fixed point. Similarly . Hence is a fixed point of . Conversely, if there is a pre-fixed point with , then and ; hence and is the minimal fixed point. (en)
