  • Abstract
    Volume estimates of balls in Riemannian manifolds find many applications in information theory such as in the determination of the rate-distortion trade off for the quantization of a source randomly distributed over such surfaces. This paper computes the precise power series expansion of volume of small geodesic balls in a real Stiefel manifold of arbitrary dimension. An application of the result obtained is also demonstrated.
