This paper describes an evolving Arithmetic Design System (ADS) to support the quantitative evaluation of alternate number systems with respect to a given application and realization technology. In computer arithmetic we are concerned with establishing a correspondence between abstract quantities (numbers) and some physical representation (symbols), and with simulating the operations on these symbols. The ADS is intended to help study the cost and performance of alternate simulations. A finite number system is a triple consisting of a symbol set (elements are called "digit-vectors"), an interpretation set, a mapping between these two sets, and a set of operators (digit-vector algorithms) defined on its symbol set. A set of these digit vector algorithms are proposed for conducting arithmetic design. A number system matrix defines the digit vector algorithm for numerous number systems and a method for computing time and space complexity of compositions of these algorithms is proposed. An example of how the system could be used to compare addition, with and without overflow detection, for three number systems is given.

This paper presents the results of one phase of a study concerning methods for addition of P>;2 numbers, each encoded as a vector of digits (digit vector) of length N. Such multi-operand addition has been studied most often in the context of reducing a set of partial products to a single result in the implementation of multiplication. More generalized multi-operand addition, most notably in the form of inner product calculations is, however, central to numerous scientific applications of digital computers. Although multi-operand addition is trivially accomplished by accumulation (iteration in time) in any general purpose machine, demands for very high-speed computation, typified by 2- and 3-D signal processing prompt implementation of dedicated, hardware-intensive structures for multi-operand addition. This study, for example, is motivated in part by requirements for rapid simultaneous addition of up to 100, 16-bit operands in the design of a dedicated processor for real-time reconstruction of 3-D images of the beating heart and breathing lungs [1].

MARCY, HTThe Honorable H. Tyler (“Ty”) Marcy:was born in 1918 in Rochester
New York but moved to Baltimore Maryland at an early age where he attended public schools. He is a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from which he received both his BS and MS degrees in Electrical Engineering. Subsequent to receiving the latter degree in 1941 he designed and developed gun control systems in the MIT Servomechanism Laboratory until 1946 when he became Associate Director Special Projects Department M. W. Kellogg Company and worked on rocket engine development missile controls and analog air defense systems. In 1951
Mr. Marcy left Kellogg Company to join the IBM Corporation where he remained until 1972 and was employed in various engineering and managerial positions. At IBM his first assignment concerned the bomb/navigational system for the B-52 aircraft. He then moved into commercial development of data processing machines and peripheral devices subsequently being placed in a series of technical management positions which included Assistant Manager of Product Development Corporate Headquarters New York (1956) Manager
Poughkeepsie N.Y. Laboratory (1957) Vice-President
General Products Division (1962) Vice-President
Systems Development Division (1965) and Director of Technology
Corporate Headquarters Armonk N. Y. (1968). His last position was held until 1972 when he left IBM to do private consulting work in engineering management technology and program review. In October 1974 he was appointed by the President to his present office as Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research and Development. Mr. Marcy has been a member of the Instrument Society of America since 1963
serving as its President from 1971 until 1974. In 1967 he became a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) for his leadership in feedback control and for his significant contribution to the management of technical enterprise. In addition to these professional organizations he is also a member of the

A certain "star-product" formalism in scattering theory as developed by Redheffer is shown to also be naturally applicable to discrete-time linear least-squares estimation problems. The formalism seems to provide a nice way of handling some of the well-known algebraic complications of the discrete-time case, e.g., the distinctions between time and measurement updates, predicted and filtered estimates, etc. Several other applications of the scattering framework are presented, including doubling formulas for the error covariance, a change of initial conditions formula, equations for a backwards Markov state model, and a new derivation of the Chandrasekhar-type equations for the constant parameter case. The differences between the discrete-time and continuous-time are noted.

The Riccati equation plays an equally important role in scattering theory as in linear least-squares estimation theory. However, in the scattering literature, a somewhat different framework of treating the Riccati equation has been developed. We show that this framework is very appropriate also for estimation problems, and that it enables us to give simple derivatitions of known results as well as to obtain several new results. Examples include the derivation of backwards equations to solve forwards Riccati equations; an analysis of the asymptotic behavior of the Riccati equation; the derivation of backwards Markovian representations of stochastic processes; and new derivations and new insights into the Chandrasekhar and related Levinson and Cholesky equations.

The worst-case error analysis is extended to include the problem of bounded input r(t) and its rate of change dr/dt for a a dynamical system described by a set of differential equations with separable forcing function. The problem is reformulated as a bounded-input, bounded-state variable problem, and Pontryagin's Maximum Principle is applied to maximize a given error function. For a wide class of systems, the time derivative of the worst forcing function is shown to be "bang-bang" for the open region defined by the constraint of r(t) and zero on its boundary. A computational algorithm is developed to solve the resulting two-point boundary value problem.
A process is described for continuing adaptation, after hyperplanes that separate pattern classes in pattern space have been found, in order to increase the distance between sample patterns and hyperplanes.
