Theory of information and coding. A mathematical framework for communication

Book ·
OSTI ID:5259367
This book is meant to be a self-contained introduction to the basic results in the theory of information and coding. The introduction gives an overview of the whole sujbect. Chapters in Part I (Information Theory) deal with entropy and mutual information, discrete memoryless channels and their capacity--cost functions, discrete memoryless sources and their rate-distortion functions, the Gaussian channel and source, the source--channel coding theorem, and advanced topics (the channel coding theorem, the source coding theorem). The chapters in Part II (Coding Theory) discuss linear codes; BCH, Goppa, and related codes; convolutional codes; variable-length source coding; and advanced topics (block codes, convolutional codes, a comparison of block and convolutional codes, source codes). 86 figures, 9 tables, 50 references.
