  • graph reduction — A technique invented by Chris Wadsworth where an expression is represented as a directed graph (usually drawn as an inverted tree).

This is repeated until the tree has been reduced to a value with no more function calls (a normal form).

It is the most commonly used technique for implementing lazy evaluation.
