On optimal coding of non-linear dynamical systems (1711.06600v2)

Abstract: We consider the problem of zero-delay coding of a dynamical system over a discrete noiseless channel under three estimation criteria concerned with the low-distortion regime. For these three criteria, formulated stochastically in terms of a probability distribution for the initial state, we characterize the smallest channel capacities above which the estimation objectives can be achieved. The results establish further connections between topological and metric entropy of dynamical systems and information theory.
