Numbers Magic 
I’ve enjoyed your publications on 1 digit formulas since “Single Digit Representations of Natural Numbers” in 2015. If you’re interested in a similar project, or have tips on how to proceed, I’d love to hear from you, or see a paper.
The project I’ve been working on is the shortest *unique* representation. For example, in the previously mentioned work, we find 0= 1-1, 2-2, 3-3, etc; 5=(88-8)/(8+8),(99-9)/(9+9); and 10=(44-4)/4,(66-6)/6,(77-7)/7,etc. I believe, but have neither means nor skill to check, that the following are the shortest unique answers. 0=1^1-1 or 0=1*1-1, 0=2-2/2-2/2, 1=0^0,2-2/2. These were made and checked by pencil and paper. I also found numerous dead ends that were not unique. At this point, I pretty much abandoned the project. I suspect I need more math, an algorithm, and some serious computing power.
