User talk:C-processor/Polar Tree

This article's first reference is bogus and probably should be deleted.

Andrew Polar's "polar tree" and so called "Polar Coding" are not related. THe former one is basically a Huffman like symbol tree. The latter is Erdal Arikan's information theoretic construction.

See the wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Ajraymond/PolarCodes

Thus the Korada article refers to the "Polar Code" of Arikan
