Abstract
Provided is a highly accurate converter and the like that makes up for the instability of circuit elements, by focusing on a relationship between the Markov chain and β conversion. A converterthat determines the decoded value of a sample value x based on L-bit number b(i=1, . . . , L) includes a decoding sectionto determine the decoded value xfor γ=1/β (where 1<β<2) using equation (eq 1). Further, the converteralso includes a matrix estimation sectionto determine the Markov transition matrix based on b. Unlike a conventional method that pays attention to the lower limit of an interval, the decoding sectionusing equation (eq 1) pays attention to the center of the interval, and this point is a significant difference.
