From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   graph reduction
  
      A technique invented by Chris Wadsworth where an expression is
      represented as a {directed graph} (usually drawn as an
      inverted tree).   Each node represents a function call and its
      subtrees represent the arguments to that function.   Subtrees
      are replaced by the expansion or value of the expression they
      represent.   This is repeated until the tree has been reduced
      to a value with no more function calls (a {normal form}).
  
      In contrast to {string reduction}, graph reduction has the
      advantage that common subexpressions are represented as
      pointers to a single instance of the expression which is only
      reduced once.   It is the most commonly used technique for
      implementing {lazy evaluation}.
