Presents a rigorous theoretical analysis of the main properties of a double-base number system, using bases 2 and 3. In particular, we emphasize the sparseness of the representation. A simple geometric interpretation allows an efficient implementation of the basic arithmetic operations, and we introduce an index calculus for logarithmic-like arithmetic with considerable hardware reductions in look-up table size. Two potential areas of applications are discussed: applications in digital signal processing for computation of inner products and in cryptography for computation of modular exponentiations.
