  • eta conversion — (theory)   In lambda-calculus, the eta conversion rule states \ x . f x <--> f provided x does not occur as a free variable in f and f is a function.

They are certainly equivalent when applied to some argument - they both fail to terminate.

See also observational equivalence, reduction.
