We present a technique to calculate iterative, polynomial-time graph algorithms directly from the definition of the properties. We do this by fixed-point fusion of (1) a least fixed point expressing all finite paths through a directed graph and (2) Galois connections that capture the properties of interest. We demonstrate the technique by constructing three algorithms from the literature: a tra...
