Introduction

It is usual to consider in classical mathematics (Nicolas Bourbaki [1949], Arnold Kaufmann, Maurice Denis-Papin, Robert Faure [1964], G. A. Korn, T. M. Korn [1968], I. N. Bronstein, K. A. Semendjajew [1989], [Encyclopaedia of Mathematics 1988]) that the empty sum equals 0 whereas the empty product equals 1. The both rules work in the best cases only because both adding a number a to the empty sum and multiplying the empty product with a number a give the correct result (value, output) a . Otherwise, the results are incorrect as a rule. It would be better to consider:

the empty sum equals 0 if and only if namely addition is the only further operation;

the empty product equals 1 if and only if namely multiplication is the only further operation.

But any dependence of the already performed operations output on any further operation proves that such a result makes no objective sense at all.

Therefore, in classical mathematics, there is no possibility to adequately consider the empty value and hence empty objects also as operands, arguments, or inputs, as well as outputs, results, or values.

Hence classical mathematics cannot (and does not want to) regard (adequately solve and even consider) very many typical urgent problems in science, engineering, and life. This generally holds when solving valuation, estimation, discrimination, control, and optimization problems, as well as in particular by measuring very inhomogeneous objects and rapidly changeable processes [Encyclopaedia of Physics 1973]. This is also very important for chaos theory (Ilya Prigogine [1993, 1997]) and fractal theory (Benoît Mandelbrot [1975, 1977, 1982]).

It is urgent to regard the empty value and empty objects also as operands, arguments, or inputs, as well as outputs, results, or values.

Mega-overmathematics by Lev Gelimson [1987-2012] based on its uninumbers, quantielements, quantisets, and uniquantities with quantioperations and quantirelations provides universally and adequately modeling, expressing, measuring, evaluating, and estimating general objects. This all creates the basis for many further developing, extending, and applying mega-overmathematics fundamental sciences systems. Among them is, in particular, empty value theory.

Empty Value Theory

Definition. The empty value EV is the "result"/"output" of "performing"/"applying" no actions, e.g. operations, transformations, functions, functionals, operators, mappings, etc. (hence on/to no objects, e.g. operands, arguments, inputs, etc.).

Corollary. This "result" may not depend on any particular operation and must be universal.

Corollary. Both the empty sum ES and the empty product EP are particular cases of the empty value (output) EV .

Nota bene: Lev Gelimson [1995a] first explicitly introduced the empting (voiding) operation transforming any object to the empty (void) object (element) # (or the empty set ∅ so that # ∈ ∅ and # = ∅ simultaneously). Using the empty (void) object, e.g. operand, argument, input, etc., # (or ∅) excludes (drops) any action, e.g. operation, transformation, function, functional, operator, mapping, etc. on this object so that this object neutralizes any action. Then the "result"/"output" of "performing"/"applying" no actions, e.g. operations, transformations, functions, functionals, operators, mappings, etc. (hence on/to no objects, e.g. operands, arguments, inputs, etc.) equals namely the empty value # (or ∅), which is universal. It seems to be suitable to denote this universal empty value as this "result"/"output" namely via the empty set symbol ∅ because in this case, both the set of all the actions, e.g. operations, transformations, functions, functionals, operators, mappings, etc., and the set of all the objects, e.g. operands, arguments, inputs, etc., are empty.

Notation. Let ∅ denote this universal empty value so that EV = ∅ .

Corollary. The empty sum ES = ∅ and the empty product EP = ∅ .

Definition. Any object representable as the result/output of performing/applying any actions, e.g. operations, transformations, functions, functionals, operators, etc., on/to any objects, e.g. operands, arguments, inputs, etc., all taking the empty value ∅ only, is the empty value ∅ .

Examples:

any (possibly uncountable) sum

Σj∈J ∅ = ... + ∅ + ... + ∅ + ... = ∅

of the empty values ∅ , i.e. copies (exemplars) of the universal (and hence unique) empty value ∅ , with denoting usual addition by +

where (and also similarly further) the index j one-time takes all the values in any index set J and the linear notation is optional only as a simple graphical illustration;

the additive inverse

- = -∅ = ∅

of the empty value ∅ so that

∅ + (∅-) = (∅-) + ∅ = ∅ + (-∅) = (-∅) + ∅ = ∅ ;

any (possibly uncountable) algebraic sum

Σj∈J (±∅) = ... + ∅ + ... + ∅- + ... = ... + ∅ + ... + (-∅) + ... = ... + ∅ + ... - ∅ + ... = ∅ ;

any (possibly uncountable) product

Πj∈J ∅ = ... • ∅ • ... • ∅ • ... = ∅

with denoting usual multiplication by • (or ×);

the multiplicative inverse

/ = ∅

of the empty value ∅ so that

∅ • ∅/ = ∅/ • ∅ = ∅ × ∅/ = ∅/ × ∅ = ∅ ;

any (possibly uncountable) algebraic product

Πj∈J(/) = ... • ∅ • ... • ∅/ • ... = ... • ∅ • ... / ∅ • ... = ∅

with denoting usual division by / , the parentheses in the index (/) showing that the index / is optional so that ∅(/) is the unified notation both for ∅ and for ∅/ like ±∅ is the unified notation both for ∅ and for -∅ ;

any, e.g. zero, positive or negative, rational or irrational, imaginary, etc., power of the empty value ∅ is the empty value ∅ .

Nota bene: Power exponents may be considered as means to provide suitable notation only rather than inevitable operands. We can avoid explicitly using power exponents via repeating the empty value ∅ , its additive ∅- = -∅ and multiplicative ∅/ inverses, and operations on them, as well as introducing, denoting, and considering intermediate results (outputs), etc. We may also simply consider any power of the empty value ∅ as the value of the power function whose only argument is the empty value ∅ and whose only parameter is the required (desired) power exponent and then explicitly use the last definition.

Examples:

5 = ∅ • ∅ • ∅ • ∅ • ∅ = ∅ ;

-3 = ∅/ • ∅/ • ∅/ = ∅ • ∅ • ∅ = ∅ ;

-3/5 = (∅/)1/5 • (∅/)1/5 • (∅/)1/5 = ∅1/5 • ∅1/5 • ∅1/5 = ∅ • ∅ • ∅ = ∅ ;

Let us prove that this universal empty value may not be any number known in classical mathematics (Nicolas Bourbaki [1949], Arnold Kaufmann, Maurice Denis-Papin, Robert Faure [1964], G. A. Korn, T. M. Korn [1968], I. N. Bronstein, K. A. Semendjajew [1989], [Encyclopaedia of Mathematics 1988]).

Zero Theorem. u = 0.

Proof (via reductio ad absurdum). If, on the contrary, the inequality u ≠ 0 were true, then the empty value would be

EV = u ≠ 0

and, in particular, the empty sum ES would be

ES = u ≠ 0.

Add any number a to the empty sum ES with denoting usual addition by + . Then the relations

a = a + ES = a + u ≠ a

would hold implying the inequality a ≠ a , which is false.

Nonzero Theorem. u ≠ 0.

Proof (via reductio ad absurdum). If, on the contrary, the equality u = 0 were true, then the empty value would equal

EV = u = 0

and, in particular, the empty product EP would equal

EP = u = 0.

Multiply the empty product EP with any nonzero number a denoting usual multiplication by • (or ×). Then the equalities

a = a • EP = a • u = a • 0 = 0

would hold, which is false because

a ≠ 0.

Unit Theorem. u = 1.

Proof (via reductio ad absurdum). If, on the contrary, the inequality u ≠ 1 were true, then the empty value would be

EV = u ≠ 1

and, in particular, the empty product EP would be

EP = u ≠ 1.

Multiply the empty product EP with any nonzero number a . Then the relations

a = a • EP = a • u ≠ a

would hold implying the inequality a ≠ a , which is false.

Nonunit Theorem. u ≠ 1.

Proof (via reductio ad absurdum). If, on the contrary, the equality u = 1 were true, then the empty value would equal

EV = u = 1

and, in particular, the empty sum ES would equal

ES = u = 1.

Add any number a to the empty sum ES . Then the equalities

a = a + ES = a + u = a + 1

would hold, which is false.

Corollary. The universal empty value may not be any number known in classical mathematics. In particular, neither 0 nor 1 can provide such universality. Hence it is necessary to extra introduce the universal empty value.

In particular, for any c ∈ C (the complex numbers), we have

c + ∅ = ∅ + c = c ,

c • ∅ = ∅ • c = c

where + and × (or •) and are usual addition and multiplication, respectively.

For c = 0, we have

0 + ∅ = ∅ + 0 = 0,

0 • ∅ = ∅ • 0 = 0.

For c = 1, we have

1 + ∅ = ∅ + 1 = 1,

1 • ∅ = ∅ • 1 = 1.

Let us extra prove the following theorems also in this particular case to further compare the universal empty value ∅ with 0 and 1.

Nonzero Theorem. ∅ ≠ 0.

Proof (via reductio ad absurdum). If, on the contrary, the equality ∅ = 0 were true, then the equalities 1 • ∅ = ∅ • 1 = 1 would imply

1 • 0 = 0 • 1 = 1,

which is false.

Nonunit Theorem. ∅ ≠ 1.

Proof (via reductio ad absurdum). If, on the contrary, the equality ∅ = 1 were true, then the equalities

0 + ∅ = ∅ + 0 = 0,

1 + ∅ = ∅ + 1 = 1

would imply the equalities

0 + 1 = 1 + 0 = 0,

1 + 1 = 1 + 1 = 1,

respectively, which both are false.

Additive Neutral Element Nonuniqueness Theorem. Along with the usual (number) additive neutral element 0, there is another extra (nonnumber) additive neutral element.

Proof. The universal empty value ∅ differs from 0 and is an extra (nonnumber) additive neutral element because for any c ∈ C (the complex numbers), we have

c + ∅ = ∅ + c = c .

Multiplicative Neutral Element Nonuniqueness Theorem. Along with the usual (number) multiplicative neutral element 1, there is another extra (nonnumber) multiplicative neutral element.

Proof. The universal empty value ∅ differs from 1 and is an extra (nonnumber) multiplicative neutral element because for any c ∈ C (the complex numbers), we have

c • ∅ = ∅ • c = c .

Fundamental zero science in mega-overmathematics by Lev Gelimson [1987-2012] is universal and very efficient.
