Mathematical Model for Determining of Wuku Name in Javanese Culture in Indonesia

Authors : Agung Prabowo, Pramono Sidi, Mustafa Mamat and Sukono

Abstract: This study develops mathematical model for determining of Wuku name in Pawukon Saka and Pawukon Jawa. By utilizing the Chinese remainder problem, the generated model can be utilized to confirm the truth of the data carved in various inscriptions found in Indonesia. The established model can also be employed in deciding Wuku name in the inscriptions which do not contain Wuku names. As many as 28 inscriptions from prior to 1500 before christ era and a relatively new inscription are utilized as the media for application model generation. The result corrects of Wuku names in three inscriptions and confirms the truth of Wuku name writings in eight inscriptions. Among 17 inscriptions that do not have Wuku names, Wuku names of 11 of them can be decided and 6 of them cannot due to insufficiency of the data needed including Laguna Bay Inscription from Philippines. The name of Sadwara day of an inscription called Phallus Sukuh can be determined.
