Motivated by recent work in computational social choice, we extend the metric distortion framework to clustering problems. Given a set of $n$ agents located in an underlying metric space, our goal is to partition them into $k$ clusters,…

We study the growth of the support size of the capacity-achieving input distribution for the amplitude-constrained additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. While it is known since Smith (1971) that the optimal input is discrete with…

The goal of this paper is to obtain a better knowledge of the achievable data rate over noncoherent Rician fading channel with time and frequency memory. We assume that the average-power as well as the peak-power of the input signal are…

Shannon-Hartley theorem can accurately calculate the channel capacity when the signal observation time is infinite. However, the calculation of finite-time mutual information, which remains unknown, is essential for guiding the design of…

We consider compound as well as arbitrarily varying classical-quantum channel models. For classical-quantum compound channels, we give an elementary proof of the direct part of the coding theorem. A weak converse under average error…

We present a self-contained analysis of a particular family of metrics over the set of non-negative integers. We show that these metrics, which are defined through a nested sequence of optimal transport problems, provide tight estimates for…

Optimization methods aimed at estimating the capacities of a general Gaussian channel are developed. Specifically evaluation of classical capacity as maximum of the Holevo information is pursued over all possible Gaussian encodings for the…

A practical communication channel often suffers from constraints on input other than the average power, such as the peak power constraint. In order to compare achievable rates with different constellations as well as the channel capacity…

We derive improved and easily computable upper bounds on the capacity of the discrete-time Poisson channel under an average-power constraint and an arbitrary constant dark current term. This is accomplished by combining a general convex…

A local convergence rate is established for a Gauss orthogonal collocation method applied to optimal control problems with control constraints. If the Hamiltonian possesses a strong convexity property, then the theory yields convergence for…

We consider discrete memoryless channels with input alphabet size $n$ and output alphabet size $m$, where $m=$ceil$(\gamma n)$ for some constant $\gamma>0$. The channel transition matrix consists of entries that, before being normalised,…

In this letter, we prove that the classical capacity of quantum channel for $M$ symmetric states is achieved by an uniform distribution on a priori probabilities. We also investigate non-symmetric cases such as a ternary amplitude shift…

We consider a basic problem in the general data streaming model, namely, to estimate a vector $f \in \Z^n$ that is arbitrarily updated (i.e., incremented or decremented) coordinate-wise. The estimate $\hat{f} \in \Z^n$ must satisfy…
