- noun Definition of fix in Technology 1. (mathematics) The fixed point combinator. Called Y in combinatory logic. Fix is a higher-order function which returns a fixed point of its argument (which is a function). fix :: (a -> a) -> a fix f = f (fix f) Which satisfies the equation fix f = x such that f x = x. Somewhat surprisingly, fix can be defined as the non-recursive lambda abstraction: fix = \ h . (\ x . h (x x)) (\ x . h (x x)) Since this involves self-application, it has an infinite type. A function defined by f x1 .. xN = E can be expressed as f = \ x1 ... \ xN . E In the case where N = 0 and f is free in E, this defines an infinite data object, e.g. ones = fix (\ ones . 1 : ones) = (\ ones . 1 : ones) (fix (\ ones . 1 : ones)) = 1 : (fix (\ ones . 1 : ones)) = 1 : 1 : ... Fix f is also sometimes written as mu f where mu is the Greek letter or alternatively, if f = \ x . E, written as mu x . E. Compare quine. 2. bug fix. 1
