The penalty incurred by imposing a finite delay constraint in lossless source coding of a memoryless source is investigated. It is well known that for the so-called block-to-variable and variable-to-variable codes, the redundancy decays at…

New channel coding converse and achievability bounds are derived for a single use of an arbitrary channel. Both bounds are expressed using a quantity called the "smooth 0-divergence", which is a generalization of Renyi's divergence of order…
In \cite{butman1976} the linear coding scheme is applied, $X_t =g_t\Big(\Theta - {\bf E}\Big\{\Theta\Big|Y^{t-1}, V_0=v_0\Big\}\Big)$, $t=2,\ldots,n$, $X_1=g_1\Theta$, with $\Theta: \Omega \to {\mathbb R}$, a Gaussian random variable, to…

Error-correction codes are central for fault-tolerant information processing. Here we develop a rigorous framework to describe various coding models based on quantum resource theory of superchannels. We find, by treating codings as…

The minimal set of Shannon-type inequalities (referred to as elemental inequalities), plays a central role in determining whether a given inequality is Shannon-type. Often, there arises a situation where one needs to check whether a given…
Random linear codes are a workhorse in coding theory, and are used to show the existence of codes with the best known or even near-optimal trade-offs in many noise models. However, they have little structure besides linearity, and are not…
We consider a Shannon cipher system for memoryless sources, in which distortion is allowed at the legitimate decoder. The source is compressed using a rate distortion code secured by a shared key, which satisfies a constraint on the…

In problems of lossy source/noisy channel coding with side information, the theoretical bounds are achieved using "good" source/channel codes that can be partitioned into "good" channel/source codes. A scheme that achieves optimality in…
Adaptive coding faces the following problem: given a collection of source classes such that each class in the collection has non-trivial minimax redundancy rate, can we design a single code which is asymptotically minimax over each class in…
