Optimality of Stationary and Deterministic Policies for Zero-Delay Coding of ℝ<sup>d</sup>-Valued Linear Markov Sources with Quadratic Cost
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Optimal zero-delay coding (fixed-rate quantization) of ℝ <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">d</sup> -valued linear Markov sources is studied. The structure and existence of deterministic and stationary coding policies for the infinite horizon average cost problem is established. Prior results in the literature studying optimality results for Markov sources under infinite horizons either considered finite alphabet sources or, for ℝ <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">d</sup> -valued case, only established the existence of deterministic and non-stationary Markov coding policies or those which are randomized. In addition to existence results, the finite blocklength (time horizon) performance of an optimal (stationary and Markov) coding policy is shown to approach the infinite time horizon optimum at a rate O(1/T ).

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
