Generalized multiple description coding (GMDC) is source coding for multiple channels such that a decoder which receives an arbitrary subset of the channels may produce a useful reconstruction. This paper reports on applications of two recently proposed methods for GMDC to image coding. The first produces statistically correlated streams such that lost streams can be estimated from the received...

Formulations ame presented for the second quantized versions of the field theories which lead to Corben's equations of motion. It .*•"// demonstrated that an indefinite metric is required to guarantee positive energies for all the particles, but that otherwise the theories are physically unambiguousThe number and properties of the resulting particles Mt studied and compared with the conclusions...

At high magnetic fields, where the Fermi level lies in the N = 0 lowest Landau level (LL), a clean two-dimensional electron system (2DES) exhibits numerous incompressible liquid phases which display the fractional quantized Hall effect (FQHE) [1]. These liquid phases do not break rotational symmetry, exhibiting resistivities which are isotropic in the plane. In contrast, at lower fields, when t...

A quantized progressive second price auction mechanism called ADQ-PSP is presented which improves upon the performance of the so-called Q-PSP mechanism presented in (Qu, Jia & Caines 2007, Jia, Qu & Caines 2008). The Q-PSP mechanism was developed for the fast convergence properties that can be proven for it subject to the assumption that all agents (i.e. buyers) share similar demand (i.e. margi...

We derive the quantization of action, particle number, and electric charge in a Lagrangian spin bundle over M ≡ M#\∪DJ , Penrose’s conformal compactification of Minkowsky space, with the world tubes of massive particles removed. Our Lagrangian density, Lg, is the spinor factorization of the MaurerCartan 4-form Ω; it’s action, Sg, measures the covering number of the 4 internal u (1) × su (2) pha...

Deep neural networks (DNNs) continue to make significant advances, solving tasks from image classification to translation or reinforcement learning. One aspect of the field receiving considerable attention is efficiently executing deep models in resource-constrained environments, such as mobile or embedded devices. This paper focuses on this problem, and proposes two new compression methods, wh...

A progressive second price (PSP) auction mechanism was proposed in (Semret, Liao, Campbell & Lazar 2000) for network bandwidth allocation. In this paper a quantized version of this mechanism (Q-PSP) is analyzed where the agents have similar demand functions and submit bids synchronously. It is shown that the non-linear dynamics induced by this mechanism are such that the prices bid by the vario...

Abstract. This is the the second part of a series of two papers, which investigate spectral properties of Dirac operators with singular potentials. We will provide a spectral analysis of a relativistic oneelectron atom in interaction with the second quantized radiation field and thus extend the work of Bach, Fröhlich, and Sigal [5] and Hasler, Herbst, and Huber [19] to such systems. In particul...

The second quantized form of Rayleigh-Schrodinger perturbation theory is symbolically manipulated to derive many-body perturbation theory (MBPT) formulas for particle-hole excited states of closed shell atoms. The analytic results obtained from the symbolic code, written in Mathematica, will be presented for the lowest orders of MBPT. These results compare exactly with the results obtained by h...
