Abstract

<p>This paper introduces a sequence of lambda-expressions, modelling the binary<br />expansion of integers. We derive expressions computing the test<br />for zero, the successor function, and the predecessor function, thereby<br />showing the sequence to be an adequate numeral system. These functions<br />can be computed efficiently. Their complexity is independent of<br />the order of evaluation.</p><p><br />Keywords: Programming calculi, lambda-calculus, functional programming.</p>
