We present several novel encodings for cardinality constraints, which use fewer clauses than previous encodings and, more importantly, introduce new generally applicable techniques for constructing compact encodings. First, we present a CNF…

We consider the problem of distributed lossy linear function computation in a tree network. We examine two cases: (i) data aggregation (only one sink node computes) and (ii) consensus (all nodes compute the same function). By quantifying…

The minimum energy, and, more generally, the minimum cost, to transmit one bit of information has been recently derived for bursty communication when information is available infrequently at random times at the transmitter. Furthermore, it…

In 2009, a lossless compression algorithm based on 1D chaotic maps known as Generalized Lur\"{o}th Series (or GLS) has been proposed. This algorithm (GLS-coding) encodes the input message as a symbolic sequence on an appropriate 1D chaotic…

The capacity under strong asynchronism was recently shown to be essentially unaffected by the imposed output sampling rate $\rho$ and decoding delay $d$---the elapsed time between when information is available at the transmitter and when it…

Consider the following communication scenario. An encoder observes a stochastic process and causally decides when and what to transmit about it, under a constraint on the expected number of bits transmitted per second. A decoder uses the…
