This paper demonstrates the great practical utility of inductive definitions in HOL. We describe a new package we have implemented for automating inductive definitions, based on the Knaster-Tarski fixpoint theorem. As an example, we use it to give a simple proof of the well-founded recursion theorem. We then describe how to generate free recursive types starting just from the Axiom of Infinity. This contrasts with the existing HOL development where several specific free recursive types are developed first.
