We derive an upper bound on the reliability function of mismatched decoding for zero-rate codes. The bound is based on a result by Koml\'os that shows the existence of a subcode with certain symmetry properties. The bound is shown to…

Polar codes are a family of capacity-achieving codes that have explicit and low-complexity construction, encoding, and decoding algorithms. Decoding of polar codes is based on the successive-cancellation decoder, which decodes in a bit-…
We consider the multi-user lossy source-coding problem for continuous alphabet sources. In a previous work, Ziv proposed a single-user universal coding scheme which uses uniform quantization with dither, followed by a lossless source…
In this work we study zero vs. epsilon-error capacity in network coding instances. For multicast network coding it is well known that all rates that can be delivered with arbitrarily small error probability can also be delivered with zero…
We present error-correcting codes that achieve the information-theoretically best possible trade-off between the rate and error-correction radius. Specifically, for every $0 < R < 1$ and $\eps> 0$, we present an explicit construction of…
A general class of polynomial remainder codes is considered. Such codes are very flexible in rate and length and include Reed-Solomon codes as a special case. As an extension of previous work, two joint error-and-erasure decoding approaches…
Inner and outer bounds are derived on the optimal performance of fixed length block codes on discrete memoryless channels with feedback and errors-and-erasures decoding. First an inner bound is derived using a two phase encoding scheme with…
We analyze random coding error exponents associated with erasure/list Slepian-Wolf decoding using two different methods and then compare the resulting bounds. The first method follows the well known techniques of Gallager and Forney and the…
For the discrete-time AWGN channel with a power constraint, we give an alternative derivation of Shannon's sphere-packing upper bound on the optimal block error exponent and prove for the first time an analogous lower bound on the optimal…
It is well known that independent (separate) encoding of K correlated sources may incur some rate loss compared to joint encoding, even if the decoding is done jointly. This loss is particularly evident in the multiple descriptions problem,…
