$1 - (1-x^M) ^ {2^M} > (1 - (1-x)^M) ^{2^M}$ is proved for all $x \in [0,1]$ and all $M > 1$. This confirms a conjecture about polar code, made by Wu and Siegel in 2019, that $W^{0^m 1^M}$ is more reliable than $W^{1^m 0^M}$, where $W$ is…
We prove that, for the binary erasure channel (BEC), the polar-coding paradigm gives rise to codes that not only approach the Shannon limit but do so under the best possible scaling of their block length as a~function of the gap to…
In this paper, we investigate the fundamentals of puncturing and shortening for polar codes, based on binary domination which plays a key role in polar code construction. We first prove that the orders of encoder input bits to be made…
The construction of polar codes for channels other than BECs requires sorting of all bit channels and then selecting the best $K$ of them for a block length $N=2^n$. In this paper, two types of partial orders (PO) of polar codes are…
In this paper, we establish the partial order (POs) for both the binary erasure channel (BEC) and the binary memoryless symmetric channel (BMSC) under any block rate-matched polar codes. Firstly, we define the POs in the sense of…

Reed-Muller (RM) codes are known for their good maximum likelihood (ML) performance in the short block-length regime. Despite being one of the oldest classes of channel codes, finding a low complexity soft-input decoding scheme is still an…
An $(m,n,a,b)$-tensor code consists of $m\times n$ matrices whose columns satisfy `$a$' parity checks and rows satisfy `$b$' parity checks (i.e., a tensor code is the tensor product of a column code and row code). Tensor codes are useful in…
