Project is about lossless compression of data (LCOD), of which a very large integer (decimal) being represented by any method of math equation that will use less data bits in a storage or to be transmitted. For example, 10000 = 10^4 will save one bit of space when the decimal is converted into the math equation.

Mr group member has determined that it is impossible to find such saving for ANY integer. Otherwise any expression of other solutions will actually take more space instead. While it is possible to use higher base of digital system, the saving is not that significant.

Can Unary numeral system make efficient LCOD? For example, any integer of decimal number could be first converted into unary number and then use a cuboid to represent the LOCD? If one cuboid can't solve the LOCD, will two or more LOCD cuboid can solve the task?

Answers No the unary numeral system would not be efficient for LCOD as it would actually take up more space than the decimal number itself Two or more ... View the full answer
