Themistoklis Charalambous, Charalambos D. Charalambous, Sergey Loyka

摘要:

在本文中,我们考虑无损信源编码的一类源指定的总变距离球中心在一个固定的名义概率分布。我们的目标是找到一个最小最大平均长度的源代码,其中的最小值是码字长度-实数算术或香农码-而最大值是从总变距离球的源分布。首先,我们研究的最大化的平均码字长度将其转化为一个等价的优化问题,我们给出了最佳的码字长度通过注水解决方案。其次,我们证明了等价的优化问题可以通过源字母表的最佳划分,以及固定标称概率的重新归一化和合并来解决。对于最佳码字长度的计算,我们还开发了一个快速算法的顺序${\cal O}(n)$的计算复杂性。

英文摘要:

In this paper we consider lossless source coding for a class of sources specified by the total variational distance ball centred at a fixed nominal probability distribution. The objective is to find a minimax average length source code, where the minimizers are the codeword lengths -- real numbers for arithmetic or Shannon codes -- while the maximizers are the source distributions from the total variational distance ball. Firstly, we examine the maximization of the average codeword length by converting it into an equivalent optimization problem, and we give the optimal codeword lenghts via a waterfilling solution. Secondly, we show that the equivalent optimization problem can be solved via an optimal partition of the source alphabet, and re-normalization and merging of the fixed nominal probabilities. For the computation of the optimal codeword lengths we also develop a fast algorithm with a computational complexity of order ${\cal O}(n)$.
