From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   Iterated Function System
  
      (IFS) A class of {fractals} that yield
      natural-looking forms like ferns or snowflakes.   Iterated
      Function Systems use a very easy transformation that is done
      recursively.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   iteration
  
      Repetition of a sequence of instructions.   A
      fundamental part of many {algorithms}.   Iteration is
      characterised by a set of initial conditions, an iterative
      step and a termination condition.
  
      A well known example of iteration in mathematics is
      Newton-Raphson iteration.   Iteration in programs is expressed
      using {loops}, e.g. in {C}:
  
      new_x = n/2;
      do
      {
         x = new_x;
         new_x = 0.5 * (x + n/x);
      } while (abs(new_x-x) > epsilon);
  
      Iteration can be expressed in functional languages using
      recursion:
  
      solve x n = if abs(new_x-x) > epsilon
            then solve new_x n
            else new_x
            where new_x = 0.5 * (x + n/x)
  
                  solve n/2 n

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   iterative deepening
  
      A graph search algorithm.   When searching for a path through a
      graph from a given initial node to a solution node with some
      desired property, a {depth-first search} may never find a
      solution if it enters a cycle in the graph.   We can either add
      an explicit check for cycles so that we never extend a path
      with a node it already contains or we can use iterative
      deepening where we explore all paths up to length (or "depth")
      N, starting from N=0 and increasing N until a solution is
      found.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   iterator
  
      An {object} or {routine} for accessing items
      from a {list}, {array} or {stream} one at a time.
  
      By extension, the term can be used for an object or routine
      for accesing items from any data structure that can be viewed
      as a list.   For example, a {traverser} is an {iterator} for
      {tree}-shaped data structures.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Ithrite
      two of David's warriors so designated (2 Sam. 23:38; 1 Chr.
      11:40).
