Abstract
Fraction number systems characterized by fixed-slash and floating-slash formats are specified. The structure of arithmetic over such systems is prescribed by the rounding obtained from "best rational approximation." Multitiered precision hierarchies of both the fixed-slash and floating-slash type are described and analyzed with regards to their support of both exact rational and approximate real computation.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
