Well-Founded Relation: Also known as
The term well-founded relation is often used the literature for what on $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ we call a strictly well-founded relation.
In order to emphasise the differences between the two, at some point a $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ editor coined the term strongly well-founded relation.
However, $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ prefers the less unwieldy term well-founded relation in preference to others.
Some sources do not hyphenate, and present the name as wellfounded relation.
