Illion Numbers - This page lists the various numbers ending with -illion, starting with familiar numbers, through the large illions of Conway and Guy, and continuing with my own list which takes it past a googoltriplex.
Exploding Array Function - Last updated March 2008 This page deals my "Exploding Array Function" AKA - array notation - this is a function that generates some of the largest finite numbers known. Compare the old version which has 5 rules for only the simplest arrays with the newer version which has only 3 rules for any kind of array.
Infinity Scrapers - Last updated March 2008 This page will introduce some extremely outrageous sized numbers that make googolplex look pathetic. This page will introduce numbers such as tetratri, gongulus, kungulus, the big boowa, the big hoss and meameamealokkapoowa.
Trientrical Arrays - NEW !! Time to get into the details. This page goes into detail on how array notation deals with arrays up to size three, and this is powerful enough to keep up with the Ackermann function.
Tetrentrical Arrays - NEW !! This page continues with size four arrays, these are powerful enough to keep up with Conway's chained arrow notation.
Hypernomials - NEW !! To help understand array structures that go beyond dimensional arrays, I introduce "hypernomials" - these take polynomials to the extremes.
Pages planned for the future:
Pententrical Arrays - It will deal with 5 entry arrays.
Linear Arrays - It will deal with 1-D arrays beyond 5 entries.
The Next Row - It will deal with two row arrays.
Planar Arrays - It will deal with 2-D arrays.
Spaces - It will list out a variety of space structures.
Following are some links to other websites dealing with large numbers:
M. Rob's Large Number Site - Rob Munafo goes into detail about the various recursive functions that generate large numbers as well as various number classes.
Sbiis Saibian's Large Number Site - Sbiis Saibian goes into detail on the development of numbers, leading up into the larger domains.
Exploding Tree Function - H. S. Teoh describes his exploding tree function which grows very fast and is quite simple.
