A fundamental question in information theory is to quantify the loss of information under a noisy channel. Partial orders and contraction coefficients are typical tools to that end, however, they are often also challenging to evaluate. For…

We consider the source-channel separation architecture for lossy source coding in communication networks. It is shown that the separation approach is optimal in two general scenarios, and is approximately optimal in a third scenario. The…

We investigate the maximum coding rate achievable on a two-user broadcast channel for the case where a common message is transmitted with feedback using either fixed-blocklength codes or variable-length codes. For the fixed-blocklength-code…

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…

There are different inequivalent ways to define the R\'enyi capacity of a channel for a fixed input distribution $P$. In a 1995 paper Csisz\'ar has shown that for classical discrete memoryless channels there is a distinguished such quantity…

The cognitive interference channel is an interference channel in which one transmitter is non-causally provided with the message of the other transmitter. This channel model has been extensively studied in the past years and capacity…

We treat a random number generation from an i.i.d. probability distribution of $P$ to that of $Q$. When $Q$ or $P$ is a uniform distribution, the problems have been well-known as the uniform random number generation and the resolvability…

We determine the optimal achievable rate at which entanglement can be reliably transmitted when the memoryless channel used during transmission is unknown both to sender and receiver. To be more precise, we assume that both of them only…

In this paper, we consider noncoherent random linear coding networks (RLCNs) as a discrete memoryless channel (DMC) whose input and output alphabets consist of subspaces. This contrasts with previous channel models in the literature which…
