Abstract

We provide a counterexample to Cover's conjecture that the feedback capacity CFBC_\textrm{FB} of an additive Gaussian noise channel under power constraint PP be no greater than the nonfeedback capacity CC of the same channel under power constraint 2P2P, i.e., CFB(P)C(2P)C_\textrm{FB}(P) \le C(2P).
