In the torn paper channel, a transmitted codeword is broken at random locations into fragments that arrive at the decoder in an unordered manner. A central theoretical challenge within this model is global alignment -- the task of…
Theoretical analysis has long indicated that feedback improves the error exponent but not the capacity of single-user memoryless channels. Recently Polyanskiy et al. studied the benefit of variable-length feedback with termination (VLFT)…

We consider the constrained Linear Inverse Problem (LIP), where a certain atomic norm (like the $\ell_1 $ norm) is minimized subject to a quadratic constraint. Typically, such cost functions are non-differentiable, which makes them not…
