It really should be written like this:

but I've found the "aleph_w" writing quite usual in emails etc.
Okay, I accept email translations of this sort of thing. But only because it won't help you at all. Twisted Evil

You are all still not there yet, but getting warmer.

...in the 9 characters....
For those poor souls, like me, who have been completely lost in this discussion, since at least the issue of Knuth's up-arrow notation:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knuth%27s_up-arrow_notation
allow me to suggest that "aleph", is not a typographical error, but rather a symbol employed to describe "transfinite", whatever that means, sets of cardinal numbers:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardinal_numbers
To me, this question of revolution is comparable to asking how many fairies can dance on the head of a pin, though I acknowledge revolution's query as worthy of consideration by those inspired by such unfathomable concepts as infinity and beyond. I am puzzled though, why one should interpret "9 characters", as meaning nine ASCII characters? Why not nine CHINESE characters? How big a number can we produce in that circumstance? What happens to Cantor's set theory when it employs non-Arabic numerals? To what extent is this supposed "mathematics" instead dependant upon language to reveal itself? The very notion of using a Roman letter based character set (9 symbols) to describe a fundamental attribute of an arithmetic property seems a bit limited, to me. Further, since the aleph symbol is NOT a part of the roman alphabet, hasn't revolution's constraint: "9 characters", already been violated??....

"There"? Where? Wink

We can't write "largest" number, because mathematicians can build infinite sequence of different abstract numbers and always somebody can construct larger number. This kind of competition would be infinite. Very Happy

Because I specifically stated that in the very first post as one of the rules. "Aleph" is 5 ASCII characters, not one Aleph character, so it complies. It describes a number and so meets the constraints given.

But there are defined limits: 9 characters, ASCII char set, must be a number using standard definitions.

"There" being the inability to write a larger number under those conditions. So far all the numbers posted can be beaten within those restrictions.

Not accept up arrow, but even if I did it would still be small compared to some other numbers already posted here.

Let me end the game with this representation: unlimited (nine characters). It is unbeatable!!! Twisted Evil Very Happy

I know that revolution would come along and say, "not a number." Sad Smile

revo, you didn't mentioned the A={IN,IR} ?
are numbers like pi supported ?
are limits then supported ?
why functions are supported ?

I'm not sure what you mean here?

Yes
asmhack wrote:

Sure, if you can express them in ASCII 7bit with 9 char limit
asmhack wrote:

Why not. Nothing wrong with pi(x) or ack(x) (except for being too small), they describe numbers perfectly.

Accept. But already bigger numbers previously posted.

Can anyone do better?

Hm.

"n:Vk:n>k"

Where V denotes universal quantifier.
That is, number n, that for any given number k is n>k.

Not sure quantifier count as ASCII chars, then

"Any k:n>k"
may do

Well they are ASCII characters, no problem there. But you haven't really given an actual number or even a description of a number.

lim1/x
x~0

(limit, 9 ascii chars well 11 but the 2 are invisible Razz
the plus sign at the zero is skiped by default..)

What is x~0? That is not any standard mathematical representation I know for limits. Do you have any supporting evidence? And what do you expect that actual value to be?

Yes, okay cr/lf are invisible but they are still needed for the construct to work, and also they are not in the set {0x20..0x7e} so I have to disqualify on technical grounds.
