About the Book

This book is an updated version of the information theory classic, first published in 1990. About one-third of the book is devoted to Shannon source and channel coding theorems; the remainder addresses sources, channels, and codes and on information and distortion measures and their properties. New in this edition: Expanded treatment of stationary or sliding-block codes and their relations to traditional block codes Expanded discussion of results from ergodic theory relevant to information theory Expanded treatment of B-processes -- processes formed by stationary coding memoryless sources New material on trading off information and distortion, including the Marton inequality New material on the properties of optimal and asymptotically optimal source codes New material on the relationships of source coding and rate-constrained simulation or modeling of random processes Significant material not covered in other information theory texts includes stationary/sliding-block codes, a geometric view of information theory provided by process distance measures, and general Shannon coding theorems for asymptotic mean stationary sources, which may be neither ergodic nor stationary, and d-bar continuous channels.

Table of Contents:
Preface.- Introduction.- Information Sources.- Pair Processes: Channels, Codes, and Couplings.- Entropy.- The Entropy Ergodic Theorem.- Distortion and Approximation.- Distortion and Entropy.- Relative Entropy.- Information Rates.- Distortion vs. Rate.- Relative Entropy Rates.- Ergodic Theorems for Densities.- Source Coding Theorems.- Coding for Noisy Channels.- Bibliography.- References.- Index

Review :
From the reviews of the second edition: "In Entropy and Information Theory Robert Gray offers an excellent text to stimulate research in this field. ... Entropy and Information Theory is highly recommended as essential reading to academics and researchers in the field, especially to engineers interested in the mathematical aspects and mathematicians interested in the engineering applications. ... it will contribute to further synergy between the two fields and the deepening of research efforts." (Ina Fourie, Online Information Review, Vol. 36 (3), 2012)
