One step RSB scheme for the rate distortion function

Disordered Systems and Neural Networks 2009-11-07 v8

Abstract

We apply statistical mechanics to an inverse problem of linear mapping to investigate the physics of the irreversible compression. We use the replica symmetry breaking (RSB) technique with a toy model to demonstrate the Shannon's result. The rate distortion function, which is widely known as the theoretical limit of the compression with a fidelity criterion, is derived using the Parisi one step RSB scheme. The bound can not be achieved in the sparsely-connected systems, where suboptimal solutions dominate the capacity.
