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. This allows trade between the speed of the arithmetic operations and the size of the required tables. We give arithmetic algorithms (addition/subtraction, multiplication, division) for the Semi-Logarithmic Number Systems, and we compare these number systems to the classical floating-point or logarithmic number systems.
