A.2 Functi<strong>on</strong>s<br />

The standard algebraic functi<strong>on</strong>s <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> additi<strong>on</strong>, subtracti<strong>on</strong>, multiplicati<strong>on</strong> and divisi<strong>on</strong><br />

can be formed with boundaries. Powers and transcendental functi<strong>on</strong>s can be formed<br />

with the same objects. These are shown below.<br />

Standard Boundary<br />

Identity x x<br />

Inverse ,x <br />

1=x ()<br />

Additi<strong>on</strong> x + y xy<br />

x , y x<br />

Multiplicati<strong>on</strong> x y ([x][y])<br />

x=y ([x])<br />

Power x y (([[x]][y]))<br />

x ,y<br />

yp x<br />

Transcendental e x (x)<br />

ln x [x]<br />

(([[x]][]))<br />

(([[x]]))<br />

A.3 <str<strong>on</strong>g>Number</str<strong>on</strong>g> Formats<br />

The boundary notati<strong>on</strong> does not restrict the structural format <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> numbers. The notati<strong>on</strong><br />

can express numbers in a variety <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> formats by adapting the algebraic structure<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> that format. Below are some examples.<br />

Dene b to be the base radix, b<br />

: = .<br />

Dene fAg to be the base boundary, fAg : =([b][A]):
