Fixed-point combinator: Science, General information & Implementation in other languages

In combinatory logic for computer science, a fixed-point combinator (or fixpoint combinator) is a higher-order function (i.e., a function that takes a function as argument) that returns some fixed point (a value that is mapped to itself) of its argument function, if one exists.
