The present paper is devoted to investigation of the classical capacity of infinite-dimensional quantum measurement channels. A number of usable conditions are introduced that enable us to apply previously obtained general results to…

We present the theorem which determines, by a permutation, the cardinal ordering of fixed points for any orbit of a period doubling cascade. The inverse permutation generates the orbit and the symbolic sequence of the orbit is obtained as a…

A tunable measure for information leakage called \textit{maximal $\alpha$-leakage} is introduced. This measure quantifies the maximal gain of an adversary in refining a tilted version of its prior belief of any (potentially random) function…

We derive a single-letter upper bound to the mismatched-decoding capacity for discrete memoryless channels. The bound is expressed as the mutual information of a transformation of the channel, such that a maximum-likelihood decoding error…

It is well known that orthogonal coding can be used to approach the Shannon capacity of the power-constrained AWGN channel without a bandwidth constraint. This correspondence describes a semi-orthogonal variation of pulse position…

We prove that a classic sub-Gaussian mixture proposed by Robbins in a stochastic setting actually satisfies a path-wise (deterministic) regret bound. For every path in a natural ``Ville event'' $\mathcal E_\alpha$, this regret till time $T$…

Uniform continuity bounds on entropies are generally expressed in terms of a single distance measure between a pair of probability distributions or quantum states, typically, the total variation distance or trace distance. However, if an…

The exact order of the optimal sub-exponentially decaying factor in the classical bounds on the error probability of fixed-length codes over a Gallager-symmetric discrete memoryless channel with and without ideal feedback is determined.…

Concentration inequalities for the sample mean, like those due to Bernstein, Hoeffding, and Bentkus, are valid for any sample size but overly conservative, yielding confidence intervals that are unnecessarily wide. The central limit theorem…

In this paper non-group permutation modulated sequences for the Gaussian channel are considered. Without the restriction to group codes rather than subsets of group codes, arbitrary rates are achievable. The code construction utilizes the…

The entanglement-assisted classical capacity of a quantum channel is known to provide the formal quantum generalization of Shannon's classical channel capacity theorem, in the sense that it admits a single-letter characterization in terms…

We study the amplitude-constrained additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel from the perspective of near-optimal input distributions. While it is known that the capacity-achieving input is discrete with finitely many mass points, the…

We present novel bounds on the capacity of the independent and identically distributed binary deletion channel. Four upper bounds are obtained by providing the transmitter and the receiver with genie-aided information on suitably-defined…

A discrete-time single-user scalar channel with temporally correlated Rayleigh fading is analyzed. There is no side information at the transmitter or the receiver. A simple expression is given for the capacity per unit energy, in the…

We derive a consistency result, in the $L_1$-sense, for incomplete U-statistics in the non-standard case where the kernel at hand has infinite second-order moments. Assuming that the kernel has finite moments of order $p(\geq 1)$, we obtain…

We consider an additive Gaussian channel with additive Gaussian noise feedback. We derive an upper bound on the n-block capacity (defined by Cover [1]). It is shown that this upper bound can be obtained by solving a convex optimization…

A new stochastic order between two fading distributions is introduced. A fading channel dominates another in the ergodic capacity ordering sense, if the Shannon transform of the first is greater than that of the second at all values of…

A strong converse bound for constant composition codes of the form $P_{e}^{(n)} \geq 1- A n^{-0.5(1-E_{sc}'(R,W,p))} e^{-n E_{sc}(R,W,p)}$ is established using the Berry-Esseen theorem through the concepts of Augustin information and…
