We establish a strong converse bound for the private classical capacity of anti-degradable quantum channels. Specifically, we prove that this capacity is zero whenever the error $\epsilon > 0$ and privacy parameter $\delta > 0$ satisfy the…

We consider a Gelfand-Pinsker discrete memoryless channel (DMC) model and provide a strong converse for its capacity. The strong converse is then used to obtain an upper bound on the reliability function. Instrumental in our proofs is a new…

This paper establishes that the strong converse holds for some classes of discrete memoryless multimessage multicast networks (DM-MMNs) whose corresponding cut-set bounds are tight, i.e., coincide with the set of achievable rate tuples. The…

The form of Dueck and K\"orner's exponent function for correct decoding probability for discrete memoryless channels at rates above the capacity is similar to the form of Csisz\'ar and K\"orner's exponent function for correct decoding…

This paper studies the mismatched decoding problem for binary-input discrete memoryless channels. An example is provided for which an achievable rate based on superposition coding exceeds the LM rate (Hui, 1983; Csisz\'ar-K\"orner, 1981),…

Error probabilities of random codes for memoryless channels are considered in this paper. In the area of communication systems, admissible error probability is very small and it is sometimes more important to discuss the relative gap…

For memoryless channels with continuous input alphabets, deterministic identification (DI) typically exhibits a linearithmic ($n\log n$) message growth. However, the exact DI capacity has long remained open due to a persistent gap between…

We derive upper bounds on the rate of transmission of classical information over quantum channels by block codes with a given blocklength and error probability, for both entanglement-assisted and unassisted codes, in terms of a unifying…

Transmission of information reliably and efficiently across channels is one of the fundamental goals of coding and information theory. In this respect, efficiently decodable deterministic coding schemes which achieve capacity provably have…

Let $W$ be a binary-input memoryless symmetric (BMS) channel with Shannon capacity $I(W)$ and fix any $\alpha > 0$. We construct, for any sufficiently small $\delta > 0$, binary linear codes of block length $O(1/\delta^{2+\alpha})$ and rate…

The strong converse for a coding theorem shows that the optimal asymptotic rate possible with vanishing error cannot be improved by allowing a fixed error. Building on a method introduced by Gu and Effros for centralized coding problems, we…
