Abstract
In this paper we have observed and shown that ternary systems are more promising than the more traditional binary systems used in computers. In particular, ternary number system, heaps on ternary trees, and qui cksort with three partitions do indicate some theoretical advantages o ver the more established binary systems. The magic Napierian e plays t he crucial role to establish the results. The experimental data, suppo rting the analysis, have also been presented. (C) 1998 Elsevier Scienc e Ltd. All rights reserved.
