Many thanks to Bob Hanlon, Bill Rowe and Murray Eisenberg who pay attention to my question.
I have to add some points.
1) the expansion I called Goodstein must be called more correctly Cantor expansion.
2) Cantor expansion is the usual base b power expansion where also exponents (if the case when >b)
must be similarly expanded as in the example
87 = 2^6+2^4+2^2+1 = 2^(2^2+2)+2^(2^2)+2^2+2^0
where 6 and 4 are expanded too ("graphically" you must see only b's
or numbers less than b).
The Goodstein sequence is essentially obtained increasing base b to b+1 :
GoodsteinProcess : Given a number m1 , write m1 in base-2-CantorForm.
Replace 2 with 3 and obtain a new number n1.
Expand m2=n1-1 in base-3-CantorForm
Replace 3 with 4 and obtain a new number n2
Expand m3=n2-1 in base-4-CantorForm etc..
Property: this process terminates at 0 for any starting m1.
I am asking an help in building a CantorForm[m,b] procedure in a simple way,
when exponents becomes large and they also have to be expanded.
