Uncertainty Principles and Vector Quantization

arXiv:math/0611343 · doi:10.1109/TIT.2010.2048458

Abstract

Given a frame in C^n which satisfies a form of the uncertainty principle (as introduced by Candes and Tao), it is shown how to quickly convert the frame representation of every vector into a more robust Kashin's representation whose coefficients all have the smallest possible dynamic range O(1/\sqrt{n}). The information tends to spread evenly among these coefficients. As a consequence, Kashin's representations have a great power for reduction of errors in their coefficients, including coefficient losses and distortions.
