This dissertation analyzes several practical data compression systems using an asymptotic approximation for quantizers with small step sizes. By using this high resolution quantization theory we present a simple formulation ...

In this dissertation, we examine the problem of transmitting a first order Gauss-Markov process over a noiseless digital channel for large transmission rates. We address the problem of minimizing the time averaged mean ...

With the advent of the information era, line-drawing with digital form has become increasingly important in engineering applications. Unfortunately, there is a big media gap between paper and computer. For line-drawings ...

This dissertation describes the development of a computer system that can be used for informal axiomatic investigation of mathematics. A formal mathematics-like language is defined which enables a mathematician to write ...

This dissertation presents a novel approach to soft decision decoding for binary linear block codes. The basic idea of this approach is to achieve a desired error performance progressively in a number of stages. For each ...

Today's information age has created a virtual explosion in the need for connectivity, resource sharing and transfer of information on a global scale. This has resulted in the mushrooming of data networks. The satisfactory ...

The role of channel coding in digital communication system is to provide reliability, that is, a successful information transmission in the presence of noise and interference, with as small an error rate as required. Half ...
