In the literature about the definition of data types there exist many approaches using some concept of fixed point. Wand [13] and Lehmann, Smyth [9] e.g. constructed data types as least fixed points of functors F:K → K. Arbib and Manes [3] showed that some data types turn out to be the greatest fixed points of such endofunctors. In this paper we regard least and greatest fixed points that have a given property.
