dc.descriptionA numeral system is an infinite sequence of different closed normal $λ$-terms intended to code the integers in $λ$-calculus. H. Barendregt has shown that if we can represent, for a numeral system, the functions : Successor, Predecessor, and Zero Test, then all total recursive functions can be represented. In this paper we prove the independancy of these particular three functions. We give at the end a conjecture on the number of unary functions necessary to represent all total recursive functions.
