Abstract
- In this work we give a concise definition of information loss from a system-theoretic point of view. Based on this definition, we analyze the information loss in static input-output systems subject to a continuous-valued input. For a certain class of multiple-input, multiple-output systems the information loss is quantified. An interpretation of this loss is accompanied by upper bounds which are simple to evaluate. Finally, a class of systems is identified for which the information loss is necessarily infinite. Quantizers and limiters are shown to belong to this class.<br />Comment: 7 pages, 6 figures; submitted to a conference
