  <p>The Javadoc for <code>BigInteger</code> does not define any maximum or minimum.  However, it does say:</p>
  
  <p>(emphasis added)</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Immutable <strong>arbitrary-precision</strong> integers</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Is there such a maximum, even in theory?  Or is the way <code>BigInteger</code> operates fundamentally different, such that there is in reality <em>no</em> maximum except for the amount of memory available on the computer?</p>
