Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sparse representation of a number
The first example given in the article is basically run length encoding for the digits of a binary number. RLE for binary strings is well known and has been used in some compression schemes. While figuring out arithmetic algorithms for the RLE representation is an interesting academic exercise, I was unable to find sources (other than the section of the paper discussed above) discussing this representation either as a sparse number or as a run length encoded number. It leads me to believe that the article, while well-intentioned, is |original research. Without multiple in-depth reliable sources per , this topic fails notability thresholds as described in . Given the mention in the paper above, this could be selectively merged into Skew binary number system, but just a single section of a single primary paper is a thin foundation for a merge. Deletion, until multiple sources become available that discuss this number system, may be the best course
