We consider representing of natural numbers by expressions using 1's, addition, multiplication and parentheses. $\left\| n \right\|$ denotes the minimum number of 1's in the expressions representing $n$. The logarithmic complexity $\left\| n \right\|_{\log}$ is defined as $\left\| n \right\|/{\log_3 n}$. The values of $\left\| n \right\|_{\log}$ are located in the segment $[3, 4.755]$, but almost nothing is known with certainty about the structure of this "spectrum" (are the values dense…

### Integer Complexity: Algorithms and Computational Results

An algorithm for computing K(n) is described, and it is shown that the set of stable numbers is a computable set, and the defect of a number is defined by $\delta(n):=\|n\|-3\log_3 n$, building on the methods presented in [3].

### Algorithms for determining integer complexity

• Computer Science
• 2014
Three algorithms to compute the complexity of all natural numbers, each superior to the one in [11], are presented and it is shown that they run in time $O(N^\alpha)$ and space $N\log\log N)$.

### An Application of Markov Chain Analysis to Integer Complexity

Markov chain methods are used to analyze a large class of algorithms, including one found by David Bevan that improves the upper bound to f(n) \leq 3.52 \log_{3}{n} on a set of logarithmic density one.

A method is discussed that provides a strong uniform bound on the number of summands that must be calculated for almost all $n$ and potential improvements to this algorithm are discussed.

### Digits of pi: limits to the seeming randomness

The decimal digits of $\pi$ are widely believed to behave like as statistically independent random variables taking the values $0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5$, $6, 7, 8, 9$ with equal probabilities $1/10$. In

### Upper Bounds on Integer Complexity

This paper provides the first non-trivial upper bound for all n, where for all $n>1$ the authors have $||n|| \leq A \log n$ where $A = \frac{41}{\log 55296}$.

### Optimal Presentations of Mathematical Objects

We discuss the optimal presentations of mathematical objects under well defined symbol libraries. We shall examine what light our chosen symbol libraries and syntax shed upon the objects they

### Some Conceptual and Measurement Aspects of Complexity, Chaos, and Randomness from Mathematical Point of View

This study aims to reveal and emphasize the role of mathematics in formulating the conceptual and measurement stages of complexity, chaos, and randomness in natural dynamical systems.

Define $\|n\|$ to be the complexity of $n$, the smallest number of ones needed to write $n$ using an arbitrary combination of addition and multiplication. John Selfridge showed that $\|n\| \ge ## References SHOWING 1-10 OF 20 REFERENCES ### Algorithms for determining integer complexity • Computer Science • 2014 Three algorithms to compute the complexity of all natural numbers, each superior to the one in [11], are presented and it is shown that they run in time$O(N^\alpha)$and space$N\log\log N)$. ### Integer Complexity: Experimental and Analytical Results • Mathematics • 2012 We consider representing of natural numbers by arithmetical expressions using ones, addition, multiplication and parentheses.

Two notions of the “complexity” of a natural number are considered, the first being addition chain length, and the second known simply as “integer complexity”, which is the smallest number of 1’s needed to write n using an arbitrary combination of addition and multiplication. ### "How many$1\$'s are needed?" revisited
