Abstract:

We consider the problem of covering a point pattern---a finite set of points in the interval [0,T]---with a (generally infinite) subset of [0,T] that is drawn from a predefined codebook. We study the trade-off between the size of the codebook and the Lebesgue measures of its codewords. This is done both for random point processes (such as Poisson processes) and for arbitrary point patterns that are drawn by an adversary.
