Non-power positional number representation systems, bijective numeration, and the Mesoamerican discovery of zero

open access: yesHeliyon, 2021
Pre-Columbian Mesoamerica was a fertile crescent for the development of number systems. A form of vigesimal system seems to have been present from the first Olmec civilization onwards, to which succeeding peoples made contributions.

Automatic sequences: from rational bases to trees [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2022
The $n$th term of an automatic sequence is the output of a deterministic finite automaton fed with the representation of $n$ in a suitable numeration system.

Čislitel'nye v ugorskich jazykach [Numerals in the Ugric Languages] [PDF]

open access: yesLinguistica Uralica, 2022
Hungarian, Vogul and Ostyak have inherited the majority of their elementary, i. e. uncompounded numerals and other number words not derivated by suffixation from the Uralic, Finno-Ugric and the Ugric protolanguages.

On p/q-recognisable sets [PDF]

open access: yesLogical Methods in Computer Science, 2021
Let p/q be a rational number. Numeration in base p/q is defined by a function that evaluates each finite word over A_p={0,1,...,p-1} to some rational number. We let N_p/q denote the image of this evaluation function.

Semantic Numeration Systems as Information Tools

open access: yesProceedings, 2022
We propose the concept of a semantic numeration system (SNS) as a certain class of context-based numeration methods. The development of the SNS concept required the introduction of fundamentally new concepts such as a cardinal abstract entity, a cardinal

Numeral order and the operationalization of the numerical system

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2021
Recent years have witnessed an increase in research on how numeral ordering skills relate to children’s and adults’ mathematics achievement both cross-sectionally and longitudinally. Nonetheless, it remains unknown which core competency numeral ordering tasks measure, which cognitive mechanisms underlie performance on these tasks, and why numeral ...

Addition and multiplication of beta-expansions in generalized Tribonacci base [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2007
We study properties of β-numeration systems, where β > 1 is the real root of the polynomial x3 - mx2 - x - 1, m ∈ ℕ, m ≥ 1. We consider arithmetic operations on the set of β-integers, i.e., on the set of numbers whose greedy expansion in base β has no ...

Tilings, Quasicrystals, Discrete Planes, Generalized Substitutions, and Multidimensional Continued Fractions [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2001
The aim of this paper is to give an overview of recent results about tilings, discrete approximations of lines and planes, and Markov partitions for toral automorphisms.The main tool is a generalization of the notion of substitution.

From positional representation of numbers to positional representation of vectors

open access: yesActa Polytechnica, 2023
To represent real m-dimensional vectors, a positional vector system given by a non-singular matrix M ∈ ℤm×m and a digit set Ɗ ⊂ ℤm is used. If m = 1, the system coincides with the well known numeration system used to represent real numbers.

A HINDU-ARABIC TO HAUSA NUMBER TRANSCRIPTION SYSTEM [PDF]

open access: yesMalaysian Journal of Computing, 2021
The invention of the numeration system is regarded as one of man's great accomplishments. It greatly helps man express his communication needs and serves as an important tool in language pedagogy, historical linguistics, comparative study of African ...
