    Choice of sampling interval and extent for finite-energy fields
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017) Gulcu, T. C.; Özaktaş, Haldun M.
    We focus on the problem of representing a nonstationary finite-energy random field, with finitely many samples. We do not require the field to be of finite extent or to be bandlimited. We propose an optimizable procedure for obtaining a finite-sample representation of the given field. We estimate the reconstruction error of the procedure, showing that it is the sum of the truncation errors in the space and frequency domains. We also optimize the truncation parameters analytically and present the resultant Pareto-optimal tradeoff curves involving the error in reconstruction and the sample count, for several examples. These tradeoff curves can be used to determine the optimal sampling strategy in a practical situation based on the relative importance of error and sample count for that application.

    Optimal representation of non-stationary random fields with finite numbers of samples: A linear MMSE framework
    (Elsevier, 2013) Özçelikkale, A.; Özaktaş, Haldun M.
    In this article we consider the representation of a finite-energy non-stationary random field with a finite number of samples. We pose the problem as an optimal sampling problem where we seek the optimal sampling interval under the mean-square error criterion, for a given number of samples. We investigate the optimum sampling rates and the resulting trade-offs between the number of samples and the representation error. In our numerical experiments, we consider a parametric non-stationary field model, the Gaussian-Schell model, and present sampling schemes for varying noise levels and for sources with varying numbers of degrees of freedom. We discuss the dependence of the optimum sampling interval on the problem parameters. We also study the sensitivity of the error to the chosen sampling interval.
