For variable-length coding with an almost-sure distortion constraint, Zhang et al. show that for discrete sources the redundancy is upper bounded by $\log n/n$ and lower bounded (in most cases) by $\log n/(2n)$, ignoring lower order terms.…

The representation of a given quantity with less information is often referred to as `quantization' and it is an important subject in information theory. In this paper, we have considered absolutely continuous probability measures on unit…

Designing and analyzing optimization methods via continuous-time models expressed as ordinary differential equations (ODEs) is a promising approach for its intuitiveness and simplicity. A key concern, however, is that the convergence rates…

We show that external randomization may enforce the convergence of test statistics to their limiting distributions in particular cases. This results in a sharper inference. Our approach is based on a central limit theorem for weighted sums.…

An unbiased $m$-sparsification of a vector $p\in \mathbb{R}^n$ is a random vector $Q\in \mathbb{R}^n$ with mean $p$ that has at most $m<n$ nonzero coordinates. Unbiased sparsification compresses the original vector without introducing bias;…
