Query: On the optimality of ternary arithmetic for compactness and hardware
  design   In this paper, the optimality of ternary arithmetic is investigated under
strict mathematical formulation. The arithmetic systems are presented in
generic form, as the means to encode numeric values, and the choice of radix is
asserted as the main parameter to assess the efficiency of the representation,
in terms of information compactness and estimated implementation cost in
hardware. Using proper formulations for the optimization task, the universal
constant 'e' (base of natural logarithms) is proven as the most efficient radix
and ternary is asserted as the closest integer choice.
