Comparison of Compression Values of Binary and Ternary Based Systems

Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Physics - Experimental Physics, grade: A [4.00], , course: Physics, language: English, abstract: The paper will present a comparison of a Radix 2 based system and the Radix 3 based system using an algorithmic complexity program for compression of both random and non-random sequential strings. The results show greater compression in both the Radix 2 and the Radix 3 based number system in both random and non-random sequential strings.
