Information, Physics, and Computation
«`Combines an exceptionally broad coverage of non-trivial problems with a treatment of sufficient depth [...] A very valuable and unique book.' ACC Coolen, King's College London»
This book presents a unified approach to a rich and rapidly evolving research domain at the interface between statistical physics, theoretical computer science/discrete mathematics, and coding/information theory. Les mer
instances and adopts a common probabilistic formulation in terms of graphical models. It presents message passing algorithms like belief propagation and survey propagation, and their use in decoding and constraint satisfaction solving. It also explains analysis techniques like density evolution and the
cavity method, and uses them to study phase transitions.
