摘要
In this paper, a novel method to express Chinese characters mathematically is presented based on the knowledge of the structure of Chinese characters. Each Chinese character can be denoted by a mathematical expression in which the operands are components of Chinese characters and the operators are the location relations between the components. Five hundred five components are selected and 6 operators are defined to express all the Chinese characters successfully. These mathematical expressions of Chinese characters are simple, natural, and can be operated like the common mathematical expression of numbers. It makes Chinese information processing much simpler than before. This theory has been applied successfully in fonts automation, Chinese information transmission among different platforms and different operating systems on Internet, and knowledge discovery of the structure of Chinese characters. It can also be applied extensively to many areas such as typesetting, advertising, packing design, virtual library, network transmission, pattern recognition and Chinese mobile communication.
