Multi-exit iteration is a generalization of the standard binary Kleene star operation that allows for the specification of agents that, up to bisimulation equivalence, are solutions of systems of recursion equations of the formX_1 = P_1 X_2 + Q_1
X_n = P_n X_1 + Q_n
where n is a positive integer, and the P_i and the Q_i are process terms. The addition of multi-exit iteration to Basic Process Algebra (BPA) yields a more expressive language than that obtained by augmenting BPA with the standard binary Kleene star. This note offers an expressiveness hierarchy, modulo bisimulation equivalence, for the family of multi-exit iteration operators proposed by Bergstra, Bethke and Ponse.
