Shannon-kotel-nikov mappings in joint source-channel coding

TL;DR: A general theory for 1:N and M:1 dimension changing mappings is presented, and two examples for a Gaussian source and channel are provided where both a 2:1 bandwidth-reducing and a 1:2 bandwidth-expanding mapping are optimized.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Dimension Reducing Mappings in Joint Source-Channel Coding

TL;DR: This paper develops some theory for noise influence in M:N dimension reducing systems and practical examples of 2:1, 3: 1, 4:1 and 3:2 systems will be given.
Journal ArticleDOI

General relativity in the undergraduate physics curriculum

TL;DR: In this article, the authors make the case for a physics first approach to introducing general relativity to undergraduate physics majors, arguing that general relativity is increasingly important in contemporary physics on the frontiers of very large distance scales and very small length scales (elementary particle physics).

On the Theory of Shannon-Kotel'nikov Mappings in Joint Source-Channel Coding

TL;DR: An approach to joint source-channel coding using direct source to channel mappings as a function of the channel signal-to-noise ratio is studied and a theory for determining and categorizing the distortion using SK-mappings for communication is introduced and developed.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Noise Analysis for Dimension Expanding Mappings in Source-Channel Coding

TL;DR: Kotel'nikov's theory on 1:N bandwidth expanding modulation systems is generalized to M:N dimension expanding mappings (M < N), to be able to consider more general mappings and exploit dimensionality.

Loop group methods for constant mean curvature surfaces

TL;DR: In this article, an elementary introduction to a method for studying harmonic maps into symmetric spaces, and in particular for studying constant mean curvature (CMC) surfaces, was developed by Dorfmeister, F. Pedit and H. Wu.
