By Robert M. Gray
This ebook is an up to date model of the data idea vintage, first released in 1990. approximately one-third of the publication is dedicated to Shannon resource and channel coding theorems; the remaining addresses resources, channels, and codes and on details and distortion measures and their houses.
New during this edition:
- Expanded remedy of desk bound or sliding-block codes and their family members to standard block codes
- Expanded dialogue of effects from ergodic thought correct to details theory
- Expanded remedy of B-processes -- methods shaped through desk bound coding memoryless sources
- New fabric on buying and selling off info and distortion, together with the Marton inequality
- New fabric at the houses of optimum and asymptotically optimum resource codes
- New fabric at the relationships of resource coding and rate-constrained simulation or modeling of random processes
Significant fabric no longer lined in different details concept texts comprises stationary/sliding-block codes, a geometrical view of data thought supplied by way of method distance measures, and normal Shannon coding theorems for asymptotic suggest desk bound resources, that could be neither ergodic nor desk bound, and d-bar non-stop channels.

Introductory Statistical Thermodynamics
Introductory Statistical Thermodynamics is a textual content for an introductory one-semester path in statistical thermodynamics for upper-level undergraduate and graduate scholars in physics and engineering. The publication deals a excessive point of element in derivations of all equations and effects. this data is important for college kids to understand tricky thoughts in physics which are had to circulate directly to greater point classes.
Molecular Thermodynamics of Fluid-Phase Equilibria (3rd Edition)
The vintage advisor to combos, thoroughly up to date with new types, theories, examples, and knowledge. effective separation operations and lots of different chemical strategies depend on an intensive figuring out of the houses of gaseous and liquid combos. Molecular Thermodynamics of Fluid-Phase Equilibria, 3rd variation is a scientific, useful advisor to studying, correlating, and predicting thermodynamic houses utilized in mixture-related phase-equilibrium calculations.
A superb number of complicated phenomena in lots of medical fields show power-law habit, reflecting a hierarchical or fractal constitution. a lot of those phenomena appear to be at risk of description utilizing methods drawn from thermodynamics or statistical mechanics, quite techniques concerning the maximization of entropy and of Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical mechanics and conventional legislation in a normal approach.
