The main advantage of this direction was to improve the information reliability of computer and measuring systems. This direction has been patented abroad widely (more than 60 patents of US, Japan, England, France, Germany, Canada and other countries). Theoretical basis of this direction have been described in author’s books "Introduction into the Algorithmic Measurement Theory" (1977), and "Codes of the Golden Proportion" (1984).

In mathematics, the repeating decimal 0.999... (which may also be written as 0.9, , 0.(9), or as 0. followed by any number of 9s in the repeating decimal) denotes a real number that can be shown to be the number one. In other words, the symbols 0.999... and 1 represent the same number. Proofs of this equality have been formulated with varying degrees of mathematical rigour, taking into account preferred development of the real numbers, background assumptions, historical context, and target audience. That certain real numbers can be represented by more than one digit string is not limited to the decimal system. The same phenomenon occurs in all integer bases, and mathematicians have also quantified the ways of writing 1 in non-integer bases. Nor is this phenomenon unique to 1: every nonzero, terminating decimal has a twin with trailing 9s, such as 8.32 and 8.31999... The terminating decimal is simpler and is almost always the preferred representation, contributing to a misconception that it is the only representation. The non-terminating form is more convenient for understanding the decimal expansions of certain fractions and, in base three, for the structure of the ternary Cantor set, a simple fractal.

  • Dirac's Principle of Mathematical Beauty, Mathematics of Harmony
    1 Dirac’s Principle of Mathematical Beauty, Mathematics of Harmony and “Golden” Scientific Revolution Alexey Stakhov The International Club of the Golden Section 6 McCreary Trail, Bolton, ON, L7E 2C8, Canada [email protected] • www.goldenmuseum.com Abstract. In this study we develop the Mathematics of Harmony as a new interdisciplinary direction of modern science. The newest discoveries in different fields of modern science based on the Mathematics of Harmony, namely, mathematics (a general theory of hyperbolic functions and a solution to Hilbert’s Fourth Problem, algorithmic measurement theory and “golden” number theory), computer science (the “golden information technology), crystallography (quasi-crystals), chemistry (fullerenes), theoretical physics and cosmology (Fibonacci-Lorentz transformations, the “golden” interpretation of special theory of relativity and “golden” interpretation of the Universe evolution), botany (new geometric theory of phyllotaxis), genetics (“golden” genomatrices) and so on, are creating a general picture of the “Golden” Scientific Revolution, which can influence fundamentally on the development of modern science and education.

  • The Sumerian Ternary System and the Concept of Number António José Gonçalves De Freitas Centro De Estudos Humanísticos Universidade Do Minho Portugal
    Paper delivered at 1st CLE Colloquium for Philosophy and Formal Sciences Campinas, 21-23 March 2013 Accepted for publication in the Proceedings of the Conference DRAFT &1 The Sumerian ternary system and the concept of number António José Gonçalves de Freitas Centro de Estudos Humanísticos Universidade do Minho Portugal Abstract It is well known that Sumerians and Babylonians used a numeration system of base 12 and 60. We still have influence of that system in our nowadays counting of the hours of a day, twelve plus twelve, each hour has 60 minute and each minute 60 seconds. Also the circle has 360 degrees. What is not so well known is that the Sumerians in an earlier period used a ternary system of numeration; the first notice about that system is in Thureau- Dangin (1928). Later Diakonoff (1983) described it in good details and recently, Balke (2010) studied the system and described it with more precision. Still the use of this system and the concept of number involved are open questions. I will answer to those problems making a formalization of the system and showing how it could be related to a cosmogonic design. DRAFT &2 1. Numeral systems.

    SIMPLICES FOR NUMERAL SYSTEMS LIAM SOLUS Abstract. The family of lattice simplices in Rn formed by the convex hull of the standard basis vectors together with a weakly decreasing vector of negative integers include simplices that play a central role in problems in enumerative algebraic geometry and mirror symmetry. From this perspective, it is use- ful to have formulae for their discrete volumes via Ehrhart h∗-polynomials. Here we show, via an association with numeral systems, that such simplices yield h∗-polynomials with properties that are also desirable from a combinato- rial perspective. First, we identify n-simplices in this family that associate via their normalized volume to the nth place value of a positional numeral system. We then observe that their h∗-polynomials admit combinatorial formula via descent-like statistics on the numeral strings encoding the nonnegative integers within the system. With these methods, we recover ubiquitous h∗-polynomials including the Eulerian polynomials and the binomial coefficients arising from the factoradic and binary numeral systems, respectively. We generalize the bi- nary case to base-r numeral systems for all r ≥ 2, and prove that the associated h∗-polynomials are real-rooted and unimodal for r ≥ 2 and n ≥ 1. 1. Introduction We consider the family of simplices defined by the convex hull Rn ∆(1,q) := conv(e1,...,en, −q) ⊂ , n where e1,...,en denote the standard basis vectors in R , and q = (q1, q2,...,qn) is any weakly increasing sequence of n positive integers. A convex polytope P ⊂ Rn with vertices in Zn (i.e. a lattice polytope) is called reflexive if its polar body P ◦ := {y ∈ Rn : yT x ≤ 1 for all x ∈ P }⊂ Rn is also a lattice polytope.

  • Number Guessing
    NUMBER GUESSING FATIN SEZGIN 1 1Bilkent University, Ankara, TURKEY email: [email protected] Abstract. It is instructive and interesting to find numbers hold by using a positional numeration system on base b = 4. Here we present four cards having integers 1-64 written in different colors. Given the information on the cards, one can guess the secret number hold by the player. Key words: base-4, isomorphism, number guessing, positional number system, qua- ternary numeral system, radix 1Theframework It looks very natural for us to use positional number system based on radix 10, because human beings used their fingers for counting. But mathematically it is completely valid to use any other base b ≥ 2. For example binary, octal, and hexadecimal arithmetic is used in computing and programming. Our time and angle measurements rely on sexagesimal (base-60) system. Although quaternary (base-4) numbers are not very common, there are some areas appropriate for their usage: It is possible to represent directions by base-4 system. Base-4 also can be used in genetic coding of DNA. The four nucleotides are abbreviated as A, C, G, and T. Therefore nucleotide sequences can be represented numerically by coding these letters as A =0, C =1,G =2,andT = 3. Proposed first by Adleman (1994), DNA or molecular computation emerged as a new research area. Within the last decade hundreds of research papers appeared describing biomolecular computation techniques for various challenging problems which require extremely large parallelism and memory in conventional electronic-based computers (Garzon et al (2004), and Jonosca (2004)). It may be surprising to convey and get information by using different radixes.

  • Design and Implementation of Ternary Logic Circuits for VLSI Applications
    International Journal of Innovative Technology and Exploring Engineering (IJITEE) ISSN: 2278-3075, Volume-9 Issue-4, February 2020 Design and Implementation of Ternary Logic Circuits for VLSI Applications G. Thrishala, K.Ragini Abstract: This paper mainly concentrates on the design and For instance, more data can be transmitted over an implementation of ternary logic circuits. The ternary numeral arrangement of lines in a given length, diminishing in the system has its base as 3. Ternary logic will use three symbols, complexity of interconnections is observed, decrease in chip which are, 0,1 and 2. The ternary logic has significant merits area can be accomplished, and more significantly the error over binary logic in designing digital circuits. In this paper, it is detection and error correction of codes can be accomplished. proposed to implement a half adder circuit using ternary 3 to 1 multiplexer. The main objective of the work is, to design and The ternary logic system has some significant implement ternary logic circuits and to analyse the function of merits over the binary logic system [2,3]. To implement the the ternary combinational circuits using mentor graphics tool in different logic functions, the decrease in the number of 90nm technology. This paper also compares the ternary half interconnections in a circuit is observed, in this way, the adder design using k-map method with the proposed ternary half chip area has been reduced, and importantly more data can adder using multiplexer in terms of power dissipation, be transmitted and lesser memory is required. Apart from propagation delay and transistor count.
