Abstract

In the first part, motivation is presented for a study of Ternary Computers using emulation. Areas of interest and goals of evaluation are briefly outlined.In the second part, a representation of balanced ternary numbers is presented and examined. Microcode is then written to implement parallel operation on these ternary numbers. Results of experiments are reported in order to demonstrate that the goals outlined in Part I can be achieved via emulation.Part I is based on Project MU report 32-72-MU. Part 2 is based on Project MU report 34-72-MU. These reports are not reproduced here in full for sake of brevity.

Some New Optimal Ternary Linear Codes

Let d_3(n,k) be the maximum possible minimum Hamming distance of a ternary [ n,k,d;3 ]-code for given values of n and k . It is proved that d_3(44,6)=27 , d_3(76,6)=48 , d_3(94,6)=60 , d_3(124,6)=81 , d_3(130,6)=84 , d_3(134,6)=87 , d_3(138,6)=90 , d_3(...
On the Cayley isomorphism problem for ternary relational structures

A ternary relational structure X is an ordered pair (V,E), where E ⊂ V³. A ternary relational structure X is a Cayley ternary relational structure of a group G if the left regular representation of G is contained in the automorphism group of X. A group ...
Ternary Code Construction of Unimodular Lattices and Self-Dual Codes over ?6

We revisit the construction method of even unimodular lattices using ternary self-dual codes given by the third author (M. Ozeki, in Théorie des nombres, J.-M. De Koninck and C. Levesque (Eds.) (Quebec, PQ, 1987), de Gruyter, Berlin, 1989, pp. 772---784)...
