A lossy compression algorithm for binary redundant memoryless sources is presented. The proposed scheme is based on sparse graph codes. By introducing a nonlinear function, redundant memoryless sequences can be compressed. We propose a…

Grammar compression represents a string as a context free grammar. Achieving compression requires encoding such grammar as a binary string; there are a few commonly used encodings. We bound the size of practically used encodings for several…

We consider lossy compression of a binary symmetric source by means of a low-density generator-matrix code. We derive two lower bounds on the rate distortion function which are valid for any low-density generator-matrix code with a given…

A novel lossless source coding paradigm applies to problems of unreliable lossless channels with low bit rates, in which a vital message needs to be transmitted prior to termination of communications. This paradigm can be applied to Alfred…

Redundancy is related to the amount of functionality that the structure can sustain in the worst-case scenario of structural degradation. This paper proposes a widely-applicable concept of redundancy optimization of finite-dimensional…

Let C be a linear code with length n and minimum distance d. The stopping redundancy of C is defined as the minimum number of rows in a parity-check matrix for C such that the smallest stopping sets in the corresponding Tanner graph have…

The order of letters is not always relevant in a communication task. This paper discusses the implications of order irrelevance on source coding, presenting results in several major branches of source coding theory: lossless coding,…

This paper studies multiuser random coding techniques for channel coding with a given (possibly suboptimal) decoding rule. For the mismatched discrete memoryless multiple-access channel, an error exponent is obtained that is tight with…

Universal fixed-to-variable lossless source coding for memoryless sources is studied in the finite blocklength and higher-order asymptotics regimes. Optimal third-order coding rates are derived for general fixed-to-variable codes and for…

We investigate lossy compression (source coding) of data in the form of permutations. This problem has direct applications in the storage of ordinal data or rankings, and in the analysis of sorting algorithms. We analyze the rate-distortion…

This paper considers coding for so-called partially stuck (defect) memory cells. Such memory cells can only store partial information as some of their levels cannot be used fully due to, e.g., wearout. First, we present new constructions…

It is proved in this work that exhaustively determining bad patterns in arbitrary, finite low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes, including stopping sets for binary erasure channels (BECs) and trapping sets (also known as near-codewords) for…

In prefix coding over an infinite alphabet, methods that consider specific distributions generally consider those that decline more quickly than a power law (e.g., Golomb coding). Particular power-law distributions, however, model many…

In this paper, we propose {\em distributed network compression via memory}. We consider two spatially separated sources with correlated unknown source parameters. We wish to study the universal compression of a sequence of length $n$ from…

This paper considers the achievable rates and decoding complexity of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes over statistically independent parallel channels. The paper starts with the derivation of bounds on the conditional entropy of the…

Bounds on the entropy of patterns of sequences generated by independently identically distributed (i.i.d.) sources are derived. A pattern is a sequence of indices that contains all consecutive integer indices in increasing order of first…

Locally recoverable (LRC) codes have recently been a focus point of research in coding theory due to their theoretical appeal and applications in distributed storage systems. In an LRC code, any erased symbol of a codeword can be recovered…

In a {\em locally recoverable} or {\em repairable} code, any symbol of a codeword can be recovered by reading only a small (constant) number of other symbols. The notion of local recoverability is important in the area of distributed…

The problem of determining the best achievable performance of arbitrary lossless compression algorithms is examined, when correlated side information is available at both the encoder and decoder. For arbitrary source-side information pairs,…

This paper provides an extensive study of the behavior of the best achievable rate (and other related fundamental limits) in variable-length lossless compression. In the non-asymptotic regime, the fundamental limits of fixed-to-variable…
