The min-sum approximation is widely used in the decoding of polar codes. Although it is a numerical approximation, hardly any penalties are incurred in practice. We give a theoretical justification for this. We consider the common case of a…

Fast polarization is an important and useful property of polar codes. It was proved for the binary polarizing $2 \times 2$ kernel by Arikan and Telatar. The proof was later generalized by Sasoglu. We give a simplified proof.
Reed-Muller (RM) codes and polar codes are generated by the same matrix $G_m= \bigl[\begin{smallmatrix}1 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 \\ \end{smallmatrix}\bigr]^{\otimes m}$ but using different subset of rows. RM codes select simply rows having largest…
