File Frank Spitzer.jpg thumb 220px Frank Spitzer Frank Ludvig Spitzer July 24, 1926 February 1, 1992 was an Austrians Austrian born United States American mathematician who made fundamental contributions to probability theory , including the theory of random walk s, fluctuation theory , percolation theory , the Wiener sausage This is not a joke.... , and especially the theory of interacting particle systems . Rare among mathematicians, he chose to focus broadly on phenomenon phenomena , rather than any one of the many specific theorem s that might help to articulate a given phenomenon. His book Principles of Random Walks , first published in 1964, remains a well cited classic. Spitzer was born into a Jew ish family in Vienna , Austria , and by the time he was twelve years old, the Nazism Nazi threat in Austria was evident. His parents were able to send him to a summer camp for Jewish children in Sweden , and, as a result, Spitzer spent all of the war years in Sweden. He lived with two Swedish families, learned Swedish language Swedish , graduated from high school, and for one year attended Royal Institute of Technology Tekniska Hogskolan in Stockholm . During the war years, Spitzer s parents and his sister were able to make their way to the United States by passing through the unoccupied parts of France and North Africa , and, after the war, Spitzer joined his family in their new country. Spitzer enlisted in the U.S. Army just as the war in Europe was ending. After completing his Armed forces military service in 1947, Spitzer entered the University of Michigan Ann Arbor to study mathematics. His studies went quickly, and he completed his B.A. and Ph.D. in just six years. Spitzer s first academic appointments were at the California Institute of Technology 1953 1958 , but most of his academic career was spent at Cornell University , with leaves at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey Princeton and the Mittag Leffler Institute in Sweden.

In computer science , raptor codes rap id tor nado ref cite speech author Amin Shokrollahi title The Development of Raptor Codes event Invited talk at the Kungliga Tekniska h gskolan date 31 January 2011 url http bambuser.com v 1372056 accessdate 24 February 2012 ref see Tornado codes are the first known class of fountain codes with linear time encoding and decoding. They were invented by Amin Shokrollahi in 2000 2001 and were first published in 2004 as an extended abstract. Raptor codes are a significant theoretical and practical improvement over LT codes , which were the first practical class of fountain codes . Raptor codes, as with fountain codes in general, encode a given message consisting of a number of symbols, k , into a potentially limitless sequence of encoding symbol s such that knowledge of any k or more encoding symbols allows the message to be recovered with some non zero probability. The probability that the message can be recovered increases with the number of symbols received above k becoming very close to 1, once the number of received symbols is only very slightly larger than k . For example, with the latest generation of Raptor codes, the http tools.ietf.org html draft ietf rmt bb fec raptorq 04 RaptorQ codes, the chance of decoding failure when k symbols have been received is less than 1 , and the chance of decoding failure when k 2 symbols have been received is less than one in a million. A symbol can be any size, from a single byte to hundreds or thousands of bytes. Raptor codes may be systematic or non systematic. In the systematic case, the symbols of the original message are included within the set of encoding symbols. An example of a systematic raptor code is the code defined by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project for use in mobile cellular wireless broadcast and multicast and also used by DVB H standard s for IP datacast to handheld devices see external links . The Raptor codes in these standards is defined also in IETF RFC 5053. The ... more details
