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…

We consider the state dependent channels with full state information with at the sender. For this state dependent channel, the channel capacity was determined by Gel'fand and Pinsker. In this paper, we study the correct probability of…
We consider the maximum coding rate achievable by uniformly-random codes for the deletion channel. We prove an upper bound that's within 0.1 of the best known lower bounds for all values of the deletion probability $d,$ and much closer for…
We analyze the trade-off between the undetected error probability (i.e., the probability that the channel decoder outputs an erroneous message without detecting the error) and the total error probability in the short blocklength regime. We…
This work establishes the exact exponents for the soft-covering phenomenon of a memoryless channel under the total variation metric when random (i.i.d. and constant-composition) channel codes are used. The exponents, established herein, are…
The highest fidelity of quantum error-correcting codes of length n and rate R is proven to be lower bounded by 1 - exp [-n E(R)+ o(n)] for some function E(R) on noisy quantum channels that are subject to not necessarily independent errors.…
Consider the following unequal error protection scenario. One special message, dubbed the "red alert" message, is required to have an extremely small probability of missed detection. The remainder of the messages must keep their average…
We consider compound as well as arbitrarily varying classical-quantum channel models. For classical-quantum compound channels, we give an elementary proof of the direct part of the coding theorem. A weak converse under average error…
Asymptotic concentration behaviors of linear combinations of weight distributions on the random linear code ensemble are presented. Many important properties of a binary linear code can be expressed as the form of a linear combination of…

We describe some pseudorandom properties of binary linear codes achieving capacity on the binary erasure channel under bit-MAP decoding (as shown in Kudekar et al this includes doubly transitive codes and, in particular, Reed-Muller codes).…
This work contains two main contributions concerning the expurgation of hierarchical ensembles for the asymmetric broadcast channel. The first is an analysis of the optimal maximum likelihood (ML) decoders for the weak and strong user. Two…
We study common randomness where two parties have access to i.i.d. samples from a known random source, and wish to generate a shared random key using limited (or no) communication with the largest possible probability of agreement. This…
It was recently shown that spatial coupling of individual low-density parity-check codes improves the belief-propagation threshold of the coupled ensemble essentially to the maximum a posteriori threshold of the underlying ensemble. We…

This paper is motivated by the problem of error control in network coding when errors are introduced in a random fashion (rather than chosen by an adversary). An additive-multiplicative matrix channel is considered as a model for random…
