摘要: In fractal compression a signal is encoded by the parameters of contractive transformation whose fixed point (attractor) an approximation original data. Thus coding can be viewed as optimization problem finding in set admissible transformations attractor closest to given signal. The standard scheme based on collage theorem produces only suboptimal solution. We demonstrate reduction from MAXCUT that determining optimal code NP-hard. To our knowledge, this first analysis intrinsic complexity coding. Additionally, we show not approximating algorithm for problem.
