Abstract

Various nonstandard interpretations of functional programs have been proposed in which the basic nonstandard values are projections. We show that every stable function is completely determined by an appropriate abstract value in the backward analysis, and that every continuous function is completely determined by an appropriate value in the forward analysis.
