The error exponent in lossy source coding characterizes the asymptotic decay rate of error probability with respect to blocklength. The Marton's error exponent provides the theoretically optimal bound on this rate. However, computation…

The information bottleneck channel, also known as oblivious relaying, is a two-hop channel where a transmitter sends messages to a remote receiver via an intermediate relay node. A codeword sent by the transmitter passes through a discrete…

We determine the exact error and strong converse exponents of shared randomness-assisted channel simulation in worst case total-variation distance. Namely, we find that these exponents can be written as simple optimizations over the R\'enyi…

The strong converse for a coding theorem shows that the optimal asymptotic rate possible with vanishing error cannot be improved by allowing a fixed error. Building on a method introduced by Gu and Effros for centralized coding problems, we…

When information is to be transmitted over an unknown, possibly unreliable channel, an erasure option at the decoder is desirable. Using constant-composition random codes, we propose a generalization of Csiszar and Korner's Maximum Mutual…

We consider the discrete memoryless degraded broadcast channels. We prove that the error probability of decoding tends to one exponentially for rates outside the capacity region and derive an explicit lower bound of this exponent function.…

In their seminal work, Bennett et al. [IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory (2002)] showed that, with sufficient shared randomness, one noisy channel can simulate another at a rate equal to the ratio of their capacities. We establish that when coding…

Marton's optimal error exponent for the lossy source coding problem is defined as a non-convex optimization problem. This fact had prevented us to develop an efficient algorithm to compute it. This problem is caused by the fact that the…

The error exponent of the typical random code is defined as the asymptotic normalized expectation of the logarithm of the probability of error, as opposed to the traditional definition of the random coding exponent as the normalized…

In this paper, an achievable error exponent for the multiple-access channel with two independent sources is derived. For each user, the source messages are partitioned into two classes and codebooks are generated by drawing codewords from…

In this paper, we study the upper and the lower bounds on the joint source-channel coding error exponent with decoder side-information. The results in the paper are non-trivial extensions of the Csiszar's classical paper [5]. Unlike the…

Error and erasure exponents for the broadcast channel with degraded message sets are analyzed. The focus of our error probability analysis is on the main receiver where, nominally, both messages are to be decoded. A two-step decoding…

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…

This paper explores the trade-off relation between the rate and the strong converse exponent for asymptotic LOCC transformations between pure multipartite states. Any single-copy probabilistic transformation between a pair of states implies…

We provide a novel upper-bound on Witsenhausen's rate, the rate required in the zero-error analogue of the Slepian-Wolf problem; our bound is given in terms of a new information-theoretic functional defined on a certain graph. We then use…

This paper studies the concentration properties of random codes. Specifically, we show that, for discrete memoryless channels, the error exponent of a randomly generated code with pairwise-independent codewords converges in probability to…

A coding theorem and converse are proved for a large class of abstract stationary channels with time structure including the result by Kadota and Wyner (1972) on continuous-time real-valued channels as special cases. As main contribution…

This paper studies the difficulty of discriminating between an arbitrary quantum channel and a "replacer" channel that discards its input and replaces it with a fixed state. We show that, in this particular setting, the most general…

Guruswami and Indyk showed in [1] that Forney's error exponent can be achieved with linear coding complexity over binary symmetric channels. This paper extends this conclusion to general discrete-time memoryless channels and shows that…

This paper studies expurgated error exponents for joint source-channel coding for discrete memoryless sources and channels. We consider a partition of the source messages into classes, where the codeword distributions depend on the class.…
