A novel system for representing the rational numbers based on Hensel's p-adic arithmetic is proposed. The new scheme uses a compact variable-length encoding that may be viewed as a generalization of radix complement notation. It allows exact arithmetic, and approximate arithmetic under programmer control. It is superior to existing coding methods because the arithmetic operations take particula...

Nathanson was the pioneer in introducing the concepts of Number Theory, particularly, the “Theory of Congruences” in Graph Theory. Thus he paved the way for the emergence of a new class of graphs, namely “Arithmetic Graphs”. Cayley graphs are another class of graphs associated with the elements of a group. If this group is associated with some arithmetic function then the Cayley graph becomes a...

The arithmetic of the natural numbers N can be extended to arithmetic operations on planar binary trees. This gives rise to a non-commutative arithmetic theory. In this exposition, we describe this arithmetree, first defined by Loday, and investigate prime trees.

An arithmetic version of the crosscorrelation of two sequences is defined, generalizing Mandelbaum’s arithmetic autocorrelations. Large families of sequences are constructed with ideal (vanishing) arithmetic crosscorrelations. These sequences are decimations of the 2adic expansions of rational numbers p=q such that 2 is a primitive root modulo q.

Semantic web applications based on the web ontology language (OWL) often require the use of numbers in class descriptions for expressing cardinality restrictions on properties or even classes. Some of these cardinalities are specified explicitly but quite a few are entailed and need to be discovered by reasoning procedures. Due to the description logic (DL) foundation of OWL those reasoning ser...

An arithmetic approach, such as the Level-Finding method described in this paper for evaluating linear recursive queries in deductive database systems provides great potential for parallel processing. It has advantages over other approaches using state-of-the-art parallel processing technology to improve processing speed. In the arithmetic approach, we identify two kind of parallelism, namely b...

It is conjectured that there exist arbitrarily long sequences of consecutive primes in arithmetic progression. In 1967, the first such sequence of 6 consecutive primes in arithmetic progression was found. Searching for 7 consecutive primes in arithmetic progression is difficult because it is necessary that a prescribed set of at least 1254 numbers between the first and last prime all be composi...

By using a new set of arithmetic operations on interval numbers, we discuss some arithmetic properties of interval matrices which intern helps us to compute the powers of interval matrices and to solve the system of interval linear equations. Keywords—Interval arithmetic, Interval matrix, linear equations.
