Distributed Lossy Computation with Structured Codes: From Discrete to Continuous Sources

This paper considers the problem of distributed lossy compression where the goal is to recover one or more linear combinations of the sources at the decoder, subject to distortion constraints. For certain configurations, it is known that codes with algebraic structure can outperform i.i.d. codebooks. For the special case of finite-alphabet sources, recent work has demonstrated how to incorporate joint typicality decoding alongside linear encoding and binning. This work takes a discretization approach to extend this rate region to include both integer- and real-valued sources. As a case study, the rate region is evaluated for the Gaussian case. The resulting joint-typicality-based rate region recovers and generalizes the best-known rate region for this scenario, based on lattice encoding and sequential decoding.

In mathematics, a linear combination is an expression constructed from a set of terms by multiplying each term by a constant and adding the results (e.g. a linear combination of x and y would be any expression of the form ax + by, where a and b are constants). The concept of linear combinations is central to linear algebra and related fields of mathematics. Most of this article deals with linear combinations in the context of a vector space over a field, with some generalizations given at the end of the article.

In mathematics, the linear span (also called the linear hull or just span) of a set S of vectors (from a vector space), denoted span(S), is defined as the set of all linear combinations of the vectors in S. For example, two linearly independent vectors span a plane. The linear span can be characterized either as the intersection of all linear subspaces that contain S, or as the smallest subspace containing S. The linear span of a set of vectors is therefore a vector space itself. Spans can be generalized to matroids and modules.

In mathematics, an algebraic structure consists of a nonempty set A (called the underlying set, carrier set or domain), a collection of operations on A (typically binary operations such as addition and multiplication), and a finite set of identities, known as axioms, that these operations must satisfy. An algebraic structure may be based on other algebraic structures with operations and axioms involving several structures.

Short homology bases for hyperelliptic hyperbolic surfaces

Given a hyperelliptic hyperbolic surface S of genus g >= 2, we find bounds on the lengths of homologically independent loops on S. As a consequence, we show that for any lambda is an element of (0, 1) there exists a constant N(lambda) such that every such ...
