Key Points

  • The aim is to highlight VDR arithmetic's ability to yield exact results in physical computation, minimizing floating-point errors.
  • Applied VDR system based on the [V, D, R] triple for computations
  • Utilized Gaussian elimination for linear algebra
  • Employed complex pairs for quantum mechanics and signal processing
  • Achieved exact results for computations commonly affected by floating-point errors.
  • Demonstrated the effectiveness of VDR arithmetic across various applications involving transcendental functions.
  • Showcased improved numerical management in physical computations, avoiding the pitfalls of traditional methods.

Abstract

This paper demonstrates VDR exact arithmetic applied to physical computation. It is not a physics paper — it does not derive new physical results. It shows that computations physicists perform routinely, which accumulate floating-point error and require careful numerical management, produce exact results when performed in VDR arithmetic. Every computation here uses the VDR system described in VDR-13: the V, D, R triple where V and D are integers and R is a first-class Remainder value, the Q335 basis of 22 transcendental constants as integers over 2³³⁵, Gaussian elimination for linear algebra, complex pairs for quantum mechanics and signal processing, and functional remainders for transcendental functions. References: VDR-13 (complete system specification), VDR-1 (core axioms), MATH-4 (Q335 basis).
