How Real are Real Numbers?
We discuss mathematical and physical arguments against continuity and in favor of discreteness, with particular emphasis on the ideas of Emile Borel (1871

Representing real numbers in a generalized numeration system
Abstract. We show how to represent an interval of real numbers in an abstract numeration system built on a language that is not necessarily regular. As an application, we consider ...

Real Number Calculations and Theorem Proving
Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to conveniently use ordinary real number expressions within proof assistants? In this paper we outline how this can be done within a theorem provin...

Coinduction for Exact Real Number Computation
This paper studies coinductive representations of real numbers by signed digit streams and fast Cauchy sequences. It is shown how the associated coinductive principle can be used ...

Verified Real Number Calculations: A Library for Interval Arithmetic
—Real number calculations on elementary functions are remarkably difficult to handle in mechanical proofs. In this paper, we show how these calculations can be performed within a...
