  • Abstract
    We present a new class of number systems, called semi-logarithmic number systems, that constitute a family of various compromises between floating-point and logarithmic number systems. We propose arithmetic algorithms for the semi-logarithmic number systems, and we compare these number systems to the classical floating-point or logarithmic number systems
