Fixed-point combinator — Y combinator redirects here. For the technology venture capital firm, see Y Combinator (company). In computer science, a fixed point combinator (or fixpoint combinator[1] ) is a higher order function that computes a fixed point of other functions … Wikipedia
Fixed-point arithmetic — In computing, a fixed point number representation is a real data type for a number that has a fixed number of digits after (and sometimes also before) the radix point ( e.g. , after the decimal point . in English decimal notation). Fixed point… … Wikipedia
Fixed point (mathematics) — Not to be confused with a stationary point where f (x) = 0. A function with three fixed points In mathematics, a fixed point (sometimes shortened to fixpoint, also known as an invariant point) of a function is a point[1] that is … Wikipedia
Fixed point theorem — In mathematics, a fixed point theorem is a result saying that a function F will have at least one fixed point (a point x for which F ( x ) = x ), under some conditions on F that can be stated in general terms. Results of this kind are amongst the … Wikipedia
Fixed point combinator — A fixed point combinator (or fixed point operator) is a higher order function that computes a fixed point of other functions. This operation is relevant in programming language theory because it allows the implementation of recursion in the form… … Wikipedia
Fixed point iteration — In numerical analysis, fixed point iteration is a method of computing fixed points of iterated functions.More specifically, given a function f defined on the real numbers with real values and given a point x 0 in the domain of f, the fixed point… … Wikipedia
Fixed point property — A mathematical object X has the fixed point property if every suitably well behaved mapping from X to itself has a fixed point. It is a special case of the fixed morphism property. The term is most commonly used to describe topological spaces on… … Wikipedia
