Exact Complex Arithmetic in an Imaginary Radix System

Kaganovsky, Alexander (1999) Exact Complex Arithmetic in an Imaginary Radix System. Technical report. (KAR id:21802)

Abstract

This paper investigates an exact arithmetic based on the single-component representation of complex numbers by sequences of signed digits written to imaginary base ri. Algorithms for the four basic arithmetic operations in this representation are described and analyzed. The algorithms are to an unexpected extent scarcely different from their exact real equivalents, which significantly speeds up exact complex number manipulations.
