Lossy coding of correlated sources over a multiple access channel (MAC) is studied. First, a joint source-channel coding scheme is presented when the decoder has correlated side information. Next, the optimality of separate source and…
In general, if there is one device A with the same performance as many devices B, it would be better to replace many devices with one device. In order to determine the number of devices that can be reduced, it is important to determine the…
Suzuki-Trotter decompositions of exponential operators like $\exp(Ht)$ are required in almost every branch of numerical physics. Often the exponent under consideration has to be split into more than two operators, for instance as local…

We consider a setting of Slepian--Wolf coding, where the random bin of the source vector undergoes channel coding, and then decoded at the receiver, based on additional side information, correlated to the source. For a given distribution of…

A missing piece in quantum information theory, with very few exceptions, has been to provide the random coding exponents for quantum information-processing protocols. We remedy the situation by providing these exponents for a variety of…
It was recently proposed to encode the one-sided exponential source X via K parallel channels, Y1, ..., YK , such that the error signals X - Yi, i = 1,...,K, are one-sided exponential and mutually independent given X. Moreover, it was shown…
