Binary/Ternary Logic Applications for Systems Programming and Reversible Computing

A binary/ternary system differs from a pure or standard ternary system by emphasizing the interplay between binary and ternary data. In this paper we use binary/ternary constructs in three ways: first, to efficiently construct reversible two-valued binary gates, second, to define machine-level operations that may be used in systems or low-level programming applications, and thirdly, to arithmetic circuits. These separate points combine to give a multi-faceted view of possible applications of the binary/ternary approach.
