Error exponents characterize the exponential decay, when increasing message length, of the probability of error of many error-correcting codes. To tackle the long standing problem of computing them exactly, we introduce a general,…
The decoding error probability of codes is studied as a function of their block length. It is shown that the existence of codes with a polynomially small decoding error probability implies the existence of codes with an exponentially small…

We derive various error exponents for communication channels with random states, which are available non-causally at the encoder only. For both the finite-alphabet Gel'fand-Pinsker channel and its Gaussian counterpart, the dirty-paper…
We consider the one helper source coding problem posed and investigated by Ahlswede, K\"orner and Wyner. In this system, the error probability of decoding goes to one as the source block length $n$ goes to infinity. This implies that we…

A new channel coding approach was proposed in [1] for random multiple access communication over the discrete-time memoryless channel. The coding approach allows users to choose their communication rates independently without sharing the…
We consider a molecular channel, in which messages are encoded to the frequency of objects in a pool, and whose output during reading time is a noisy version of the input frequencies, as obtained by sampling with replacement from the pool.…
