We present a new technique to obtain outer-bounds on the capacity region of networks with ultra low-rate feedback. We establish a connection between the achievable rates in the forward channel and the minimum distortion that can be attained…
For any channel, the existence of a unique Augustin mean is established for any positive order and probability mass function on the input set. The Augustin mean is shown to be the unique fixed point of an operator defined in terms of the…

Recent results by Chen et al. and Polyanskiy et al. explore using feedback to approach capacity with short blocklengths. This paper explores Chernoff bounding techniques to extend the rate-compatible sphere-packing (RCSP) analysis proposed…
We establish a strong converse bound for the private classical capacity of anti-degradable quantum channels. Specifically, we prove that this capacity is zero whenever the error $\epsilon > 0$ and privacy parameter $\delta > 0$ satisfy the…
We study the problem of high-dimensional multiple packing in Euclidean space. Multiple packing is a natural generalization of sphere packing and is defined as follows. Let $ N>0 $ and $ L\in\mathbb{Z}_{\ge2} $. A multiple packing is a set…
The traditional information theoretic approach to studying feedback is to consider ideal instantaneous high-rate feedback of the channel outputs to the encoder. This was acceptable in classical work because the results were negative:…

We prove a lower bound on the entropy of sphere packings of $\mathbb R^d$ of density $\Theta(d \cdot 2^{-d})$. The entropy measures how plentiful such packings are, and our result is significantly stronger than the trivial lower bound that…
Finding accurate approximations for the effective reactivity of a structured spherical target with a circular absorbing patch of arbitrary size is a long-standing problem in chemical physics. In this Communication, we reveal limitations of…
For a stationary additive Gaussian-noise channel with a rational noise power spectrum of a finite-order $L$, we derive two new results for the feedback capacity under an average channel input power constraint. First, we show that a very…
The classical sphere packing problem asks for the best (infinite) arrangement of non-overlapping unit balls which cover as much space as possible. We define a generalized version of the problem, where we allow each ball a limited amount of…
Low probability of detection (or covert) communication refers to the scenario where information must be sent reliably to a receiver, but with low probability of detection by an adversary. Recent works on the fundamental limits of this…
In this paper we give an algorithm to round the floating point output of a semidefinite programming solver to a solution over the rationals or a quadratic extension of the rationals. We apply this to get sharp bounds for packing problems,…
