Shannon Entropy Estimation in -Alphabets from Convergence Results
Jorge F. Silva
The problem of Shannon entropy estimation in countable infinite alphabets is addressed from the study and use of convergence results of the entropy functional, which is known to be…

Orbits for eighteen visual binaries and two double-line spectroscopic binaries observed with HRCAM on the CTIO SOAR 4m telescope, using a new Bayesian orbit code based on Markov Chain Monte Carlo
Rene A. Mendez, Ruben M. Claveria, Marcos E. Orchard +1
We present orbital elements and mass sums for eighteen visual binary stars of spectral types B to K (five of which are new orbits) with periods ranging from 20 to more than 500 yr.…

Universal Weak Variable-Length Source Coding on Countable Infinite Alphabets
Jorge F. Silva, Pablo Piantanida
Motivated from the fact that universal source coding on countably infinite alphabets is not feasible, this work introduces the notion of almost lossless source coding. Analog to th…
