A Graph Joining Greedy Approach to Binary de Bruijn Sequences

Using greedy algorithms to generate de Bruijn sequences is a classical approach that has produced numerous interesting theoretical results. This paper investigates an algorithm which we call the Generalized Prefer-Opposite (GPO). It includes all prior greedy algorithms, with the exception of the Fleury Algorithm applied on the de Bruijn graph, as specific instances. The GPO Algorithm can produce any binary periodic sequences with nonlinear complexity at least two on input a pair of suitable feedback function and initial state. In particular, a sufficient and necessary condition for the GPO Algorithm to generate binary de Bruijn sequences is established. This requires the use of feedback functions with a unique cycle or loop in their respective state graphs. Moreover, we discuss modifications to the GPO Algorithm to handle more families of feedback functions whose state graphs have multiple cycles or loops. These culminate in a graph joining method. Several large classes of feedback functions are subsequently used to illustrate how the GPO Algorithm and its modification into the Graph Joining Prefer-Opposite (GJPO) Algorithm work in practice.

Patch-Based Holographic Image Sensing

Holographic representations of data enable distributed storage with progressive refinement when the stored packets of data are made available in any arbitrary order. In this paper, we propose and test patch-based transform coding holographic sensing of image data. Our proposal is optimized for progressive recovery under random order of retrieval of the stored data. The coding of the image patches relies on the design of distributed projections ensuring best image recovery, in terms of the $\ell_2$ norm, at each retrieval stage. The performance depends only on the number of data packets that has been retrieved thus far. Several possible options to enhance the quality of the recovery while changing the size and number of data packets are discussed and tested. This leads us to examine several interesting bit-allocation and rate-distortion trade offs, highlighted for a set of natural images with ensemble estimated statistical properties.

On Greedy Algorithms for Binary de Bruijn Sequences

We propose a general greedy algorithm for binary de Bruijn sequences, called Generalized Prefer-Opposite (GPO) Algorithm, and its modifications. By identifying specific feedback functions and initial states, we demonstrate that most previously-known greedy algorithms that generate binary de Bruijn sequences are particular cases of our new algorithm.

Binary de Bruijn Sequences via Zech's Logarithms

The focus of this work is to show how to combine Zech's logarithms and each of the cycle joining and cross-join pairing methods to construct binary de Bruijn sequences of any order. A basic implementation is supplied as a proof-of-concept. The cycles, in the cycle joining method, are typically generated by a linear feedback shift register. We prove a crucial characterization that determining Zech's logarithms is equivalent to identifying conjugate pairs shared by any two distinct cycles. This speeds up the task of building a connected adjacency subgraph that contains all vertices of the complete adjacency graph. Distinct spanning trees in either graph correspond to cyclically inequivalent de Bruijn sequences. As the cycles are being joined, guided by the conjugate pairs, we track the changes in the feedback function. Certificates of star or almost-star spanning trees conveniently handle large order cases. The characterization of conjugate pairs via Zech's logarithms, as positional markings, is then adapted to identify cross-join pairs. A modified $m$-sequence is initially used, for ease of generation. The process can be repeated on each of the resulting de Bruijn sequences. We show how to integrate an analytic tool, attributed to Fryers, in the process. Most prior constructions in the literature measure the complexity of the corresponding bit-by-bit algorithms. Our approach is different. We aim first to build a connected adjacency subgraph that is certified to contain all of the cycles as vertices. The ingredients are computed just once and concisely stored. Simple strategies are offered to keep the complexities low as the order grows.

Holographic Sensing

Holographic representations of data encode information in packets of equal importance that enable progressive recovery. The quality of recovered data improves as more and more packets become available. This progressive recovery of the information is independent of the order in which packets become available. Such representations are ideally suited for distributed storage and for the transmission of data packets over networks with unpredictable delays and or erasures. Several methods for holographic representations of signals and images have been proposed over the years and multiple description information theory also deals with such representations. Surprisingly, however, these methods had not been considered in the classical framework of optimal least-squares estimation theory, until very recently. We develop a least-squares approach to the design of holographic representation for stochastic data vectors, relying on the framework widely used in modeling signals and images.
