The classical Gray and Wyner source coding for a simple network for sources that generate a tuple of multivariate, correlated Gaussian random variables $(Y_1,Y_2)$ is re-examined using the geometric approach of Gaussian random variables,…
Examined in this paper, is the Gray and Wyner achievable lossy rate region for a tuple of correlated multivariate Gaussian random variables (RVs) $X_1 : \Omega \rightarrow {\mathbb R}^{p_1}$ and $X_2 : \Omega \rightarrow {\mathbb R}^{p_2}$…
Wyner's common information was originally defined for a pair of dependent discrete random variables. Its significance is largely reflected in, hence also confined to, several existing interpretations in various source coding problems. This…
We consider the problem of source coding subject to a fidelity criterion for the Gray-Wyner network that connects a single source with two receivers via a common channel and two private channels. The pareto-optimal trade-offs between the…
We consider a source coding problem with a network scenario in mind, and formulate it as a remote vector Gaussian Wyner-Ziv problem under covariance matrix distortions. We define a notion of minimum for two positive-definite matrices based…
The two most prevalent notions of common information (CI) are due to Wyner and Gacs-Korner and both the notions can be stated as two different characteristic points in the lossless Gray-Wyner region. Although the information theoretic…
Explicit constructions of polar codes and polar lattices for both lossless and lossy Gray-Wyner problems are studied. Polar codes are employed to extract Wyner's common information of doubly symmetric binary source; polar lattices are then…

We study secure source-coding with causal disclosure, under the Gaussian distribution. The optimality of Gaussian auxiliary random variables is shown in various scenarios. We explicitly characterize the tradeoff between the rates of…
This paper generalizes Wyner's definition of common information of a pair of random variables to that of $N$ random variables. We prove coding theorems that show the same operational meanings for the common information of two random…
An important notion of common information between two random variables is due to Wyner. In this paper, we derive a lower bound on Wyner's common information for continuous random variables. The new bound improves on the only other general…
We take a closer look at the structure of bivariate dependency induced by a pair of predictor random variables $(X_1, X_2)$ trying to synergistically, redundantly or uniquely encode a target random variable $Y$. We evaluate a recently…
Wyner's Common Information and a natural relaxation are studied in the special case of Gaussian random variables. The relaxation replaces conditional independence by a bound on the conditional mutual information. The main contribution is…
Nonconvex optimization plays a key role in multi-user information theory and related fields, but it is usually difficult to solve. The rate region of the Gray--Wyner source coding system (or almost equivalently, the mutual information…
In this paper, the rate-distortion theory of the Gray-Wyner lossy source coding system is investigated. For the case of jointly Gaussian distributed sources, we establish an expression for the rate-distortion function under the constraint…
In this paper, we revisit the discrete lossy Gray-Wyner problem. In particular, we derive its optimal second-order coding rate region, its error exponent (reliability function) and its moderate deviations constant under mild conditions on…
We consider the distributed source coding system of $L$ correlated Gaussian sources $Y_i,i=1,2,...,L$ which are noisy observations of correlated Gaussian remote sources $X_k, k=1,2,...,K$. We assume that $Y^{L}={}^{\rm t}(Y_1,Y_2,$ $...,…
We consider a distributed source coding problem of $L$ correlated Gaussian observations $Y_i, i=1,2,...,L$. We assume that the random vector $Y^{L}={}^{\rm t} (Y_1,Y_2,$ $...,Y_L)$ is an observation of the Gaussian random vector…
Many computer vision tasks share substantial overlapping information, yet conventional codecs tend to ignore this, leading to redundant and inefficient representations. The Gray-Wyner network, a classical concept from information theory,…
