Find a value such that :

Fixed point of an integer-valued function:

Repeated application of a rule until the result no longer changes:

Numerical fixed point of a function:

Fixed point of a repeated transformation:

Stop after at most 10 steps:

Find using Newton's method:

Fixed point of a complex iteration:

Matrix-multiplication convergence:

Root of the current directory tree (the result will depend on computer system):

Repeated differentiation:

Find the minimum of with the steepest-descent method (vector notation):

Component notation:

Evaluate combinators [more info]:

Connected components in a graph:

FixedPoint gives the last element of FixedPointList :

Apply rules repeatedly until the result no longer changes using ReplaceRepeated (//.):

FixedPoint is equivalent to a particular choice of arguments of NestWhile :

Calculations may not converge in a finite number of steps:

Providing a maximum number of iterations will guarantee termination:

Using a numerical test for convergence works in this case as well:

Convergence may fail in machine-precision computations due to oscillations in the final digits. Use a test function with a larger tolerance than SameQ to resolve this:
