Concerning three classes of non-Diophantine arithmetics

Abstract

We present three classes of abstract prearithmetics, {AM}M1\{\mathbf{A}_M\}_{M \geq 1}, {AM,M}M1\{\mathbf{A}_{-M,M}\}_{M \geq 1}, and {BM}M>0\{\mathbf{B}_M\}_{M > 0}. The first one is weakly projective with respect to the nonnegative real Diophantine arithmetic R+=(R+,+,×,R+)\mathbf{R_+}=(\mathbb{R}_+,+,\times,\leq_{\mathbb{R}_+}), the second one is weakly projective with respect to the real Diophantine arithmetic R=(R,+,×,R)\mathbf{R}=(\mathbb{R},+,\times,\leq_{\mathbb{R}}), while the third one is projective with respect to the extended real Diophantine arithmetic R=(R,+,×,R)\overline{\mathbf{R}}=(\overline{\mathbb{R}},+,\times,\leq_{\overline{\mathbb{R}}}). In addition, we have that every AM\mathbf{A}_M and every BM\mathbf{B}_M are a complete totally ordered semiring, while every AM,M\mathbf{A}_{-M,M} is not. We show that the projection of any series of elements of R+\mathbb{R}_+ converges in AM\mathbf{A}_M, for any M1M \geq 1, and that the projection of any non-oscillating series series of elements of R\mathbb{R} converges in AM,M\mathbf{A}_{-M,M}, for any M1M \geq 1, and in BM\mathbf{B}_M, for all M>0M > 0. We also prove that working in AM\mathbf{A}_M and in AM,M\mathbf{A}_{-M,M}, for any M1M \geq 1, and in BM\mathbf{B}_M, for all M>0M>0, allows to overcome a version of the paradox of the heap.
