<p>is known as <b>Rogers's theorem</b> and is due to <a href="page.php?w=Hartley_Rogers%2C_Jr.">Hartley Rogers, Jr.</a></p>

<p>The recursion theorems can be applied to construct fixed points of certain operations on <a href="page.php?w=computable_function">computable function</a>s, to generate <a href="page.php?w=quine_%28computing%29">quines</a>, and to construct functions defined via <a href="page.php?w=recursive_definition">recursive definition</a>s.</p>

<p>The statement of the theorems refers to an <a href="page.php?w=admissible_numbering">admissible numbering</a></p><p>
