A function f : D -> E, where D and E are cpos, is continuousif it is monotonic andf (lub Z) = lub f z | z in Z for all directed sets Z in D. In other words, the image ofthe lub is the lub of any directed image.All additive functions (functions which preserve all lubs)are continuous. A continuous function has a least fixedpoint if its domain has a least element, bottom (i.e. itis a cpo or a "pointed cpo" depending on your definition of acpo). The least fixed point isfix f = lub f^n bottom | n = 0..infinity
