The theoretical capacity of the Parity Source Coder

Stefano Ciliberti and Marc Mézard

Show affiliations


The Parity Source Coder is a protocol for data compression which is based on a set of parity checks organized in a sparse random network. We consider here the case of memoryless unbiased binary sources. We show that the theoretical capacity saturates the Shannon limit at large K. We also find that the first corrections to the leading behaviour are exponentially small, with the result that the behaviour at finite K is very close to the optimal one.
