Joint source-channel decoding is seen as a viable alternative to separate decoding of source and channel codes. This book provides the tools to show how cross-layer and joint source coding are compatible to mobile and wireless networks, with a particular application to the key area of video broadcas[...]

This book is about guaranteed numerical methods based on interval analysis for approximating sets, and about the application of these methods to vast classes of engineering problems. Guaranteed means here that inner and outer approximations of the sets of interest are obtained, which can be made as [...]
