(Or "contraction") The process of transforming an expression according to certain reduction rules. The most important forms are href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=beta reduction">beta reduction (application of a {lambda abstraction} to one or more argument expressions) and {delta reduction} (application of a mathematical function to the required number of arguments). An href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=evaluation strategy">evaluation strategy (or href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=reduction strategy">reduction strategy), determines which part of an expression (which redex) to reduce first. There are many such strategies. See href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=graph reduction">graph reduction, href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=string reduction">string reduction, {normal order reduction}, {applicative order reduction}, {parallel reduction}, {alpha conversion}, {beta conversion}, {delta conversion}, {eta conversion}.
