| In mathematics, a delta numeral is a numeral expressed in the delta numeral system, which represents differences of the exponents of the adjacent distinct powers of 2 in the binary representation of n concatenated as decimal digits.  It was invented by Armands Strazds as a derivation from the system of rational numerals. The preferable data type of the delta numeral is an array, since multi-digit items are possible. The individual item of a delta array is referred to as component. Example
 Encoding
 To convert the binary number 1100100010 (decimal 802) into delta numeral:
 * 1100100010 →  =
 Decoding
 To convert the delta numeral  into binary number:
 *  →  = 1100100010
 Induction
 Delta numerals induction:
 # The leading L<sub>n</sub>, n = 2.. emits a unit into the "monolith" (1-run) I<sub>m</sub>, m = 0, ...,  (Fig. upward arrow):  L<sub>n</sub>I<sub>m</sub> → L<sub>n-1</sub>I<sub>m+1</sub>
 # The "mass" of the monolith is converted into "energy" (Fig. downward arrow):  → L<sub>n-1</sub>Y<sub>m+1</sub>
 In Fig. monolith of n > 1 is marked by the stretched circle.
