We prove two results about randomised query complexity $\mathrm{R}(f)$. First, we introduce a "linearised" complexity measure $\mathrm{LR}$ and show that it satisfies an inner-optimal composition theorem: $\mathrm{R}(f\circ g) \geq…

Rate distortion theory is concerned with optimally encoding a given signal class $\mathcal{S}$ using a budget of $R$ bits, as $R\to\infty$. We say that $\mathcal{S}$ can be compressed at rate $s$ if we can achieve an error of…

Random hyperspherical harmonics are Gaussian Laplace eigenfunctions on the unit $d$-sphere ($d\ge 2$). We investigate the distribution of their defect i.e., the difference between the measure of positive and negative regions. Marinucci and…

Range coders and ANS replace empirical probabilities with integer frequencies summing to a fixed $M$; the resulting per-symbol code-length redundancy is exactly the KL divergence of the empirical distribution from the quantized one.…
