  • Abstract
    Two closely related new systems of computer arithmetic are proposed. It is shown that both are closed under arithmetic operations in finite-precision arithmetic, thereby offering a permanent solution to the problems of overflow and underflow. Other advantages of the new systems pertaining to precision are described, and there is also a brief discussion of possible ways of hardware implementation.
