Geometric approach to sampling and communication
Relationships that exist between the classical, Shannon-type, and
geometric-based approaches to sampling are investigated. Some aspects of coding
and communication through a Gaussian channel are considered. In particular, a
constructive method to determine the quantizing dimension in Zador's theorem is
provided. A geometric version of Shannon's Second Theorem is introduced.
Applications to Pulse Code Modulation and Vector Quantization of Images are
addressed.Comment: 19 pages, submitted for publicatio
Courbure discrète : théorie et applications
International audienceThe present volume contains the proceedings of the 2013 Meeting on discrete curvature, held at CIRM, Luminy, France. The aim of this meeting was to bring together researchers from various backgrounds, ranging from mathematics to computer science, with a focus on both theory and applications. With 27 invited talks and 8 posters, the conference attracted 70 researchers from all over the world. The challenge of finding a common ground on the topic of discrete curvature was met with success, and these proceedings are a testimony of this wor
