The Shannon Noiseless coding theorem (the data-compression principle) asserts that for an information source with an alphabet $\mathcal X=\{0,\ldots ,\ell -1\}$ and an asymptotic equipartition property, one can reduce the number of stored…
Unequal transition probabilities between input and output symbols, input power constraints, or input symbols of unequal durations can lead to non-uniform capacity achieving input distributions for communication channels. Using uniform input…
