fixed-point notation
a radix numeration system in which the location of the decimal point is fixed by convention
fixed-point number
a number represented in fixed-point notation
fixed-point part
the positive fractional part of the representation of a logarithm; in the expression log 643 = 2.808 the mantissa is .808
fixed-point representation system
a radix numeration system in which the location of the decimal point is fixed by convention
Brouwer fixed-point theorem
(topology) A theorem which (in one of its simplest forms) states that a continuous function from an n-dimensional unit cube (in ℝⁿ) to itself has a fixed point.
Fixed-point arithmetic
In computing, fixed-point is a method of representing fractional (non-integer) numbers by storing a fixed number of digits of their fractional part.
Fixed-point combinator
In combinatory logic for computer science, a fixed-point combinator (or fixpoint combinator), is a higher-order function (i.e. a function which takes a function as argument) that returns some fixed point (a value that is mapped to itself) of its argument function, if one exists.
