Draft:M-red Function

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The M-red Function (Maximum Real Expression Defined) is a mathematical function recognized for its extremely rapid growth. It has been discussed within the googology community and is studied in the context of fast-growing functions and large number theory.[1][2]

History

[edit]

The M-red Function was developed in 2025 to explore extremely large numbers and functions that increase faster than traditional examples such as factorial or exponential functions.[2] Discussions and documentation about the function have appeared on Zenodo and the Googology Wiki.[1]

Definition and Properties

[edit]
  • The M-red Function is defined algorithmically with recursive and iterative components, which allow its values to increase at a rate that surpasses many traditional fast-growing functions.[3]
  • It is often compared to the Busy Beaver function (BB) in terms of growth rate.[1]
  • The function is primarily of theoretical interest, particularly in the study of large numbers and extreme-growth functions.[2]

Creator

[edit]

The M-red Function was created by Mohammad Mahdi Manochehri in 2025.[4] Details about the development and algorithm have been documented in various sources.[3]

Applications and Significance

[edit]

Although primarily of theoretical interest, the M-red Function provides a framework for comparing different classes of fast-growing functions and exploring the limits of computability.[2]

Growth Rate Comparison

[edit]
Function Growth Type / Behavior
Factorial (n!) Increases rapidly with n
Exponential (2^n) Increases faster than polynomial functions
Busy Beaver (BB) Non-computable, grows extremely fast
M-red Function Algorithmically defined, fast-growing function discussed in googology
