This theory develops a fixpoint calculus based on partial orders.
Besides fixpoints we consider least prefixpoints and greatest postfixpoints of functions on a partial order.
We do not assume that the underlying structure is complete or that all functions are continuous or isotone.
Assumptions about the existence of fixpoints and necessary properties of the involved functions will be stated explicitly in each theorem.
This way, the results can be instantiated by various structures, such as complete lattices and Kleene algebras, which impose different kinds of restriction.
See, for example, cite"AartsBackhouseBoitenDoornbosGasterenGeldropHoogendijkVoermansWoude1995" and "DaveyPriestley2002" for fixpoint calculi in complete lattices.
Our fixpoint calculus contains similar rules, in particular:
\begin{itemize}
\item unfold rule,
\item fixpoint operators preserve isotonicity,
\item square rule,
\item rolling rule,
\item various fusion rules,
\item exchange rule and
\item diagonal rule.
\end{itemize}
All of our rules are based on existence rather than completeness of the underlying structure.
We have applied results from this theory in cite"Guttmann2012c" and subsequent papers for unifying and reasoning about the semantics of recursion in various relational and matrix-based computation models.

The converse of the preceding result is claimed for continuous $f$, $g$ on a complete partial order; it is unknown whether it holds without these additional assumptions.
