The mutual information between two jointly distributed random variables $X$ and $Y$ is a functional of the joint distribution $P_{XY},$ which is sometimes difficult to handle or estimate. A coarser description of the statistical behavior of…
We derive information-theoretic converses (i.e., lower bounds) for the minimum time required by any algorithm for distributed function computation over a network of point-to-point channels with finite capacity, where each node of the…
We derive a tight lower bound on equivocation (conditional entropy), or equivalently a tight upper bound on mutual information between a signal variable and channel outputs. The bound is in terms of the joint distribution of the signals and…
The correlation distance quantifies the statistical independence of two classical or quantum systems, via the distance from their joint state to the product of the marginal states. Tight lower bounds are given for the mutual information…
We derive a general upper bound to mutual information in terms of the Fisher information. The bound may be further used to derive a lower bound for the Bayesian quadratic cost. These two provide alternatives to other inequalities in the…
Traditional channel capacity based on the discrete spatial dimensions mismatches the continuous electromagnetic fields. For the wireless communication system in a limited region, the spatial discretization may results in information loss…
We prove the Courtade-Kumar conjecture, which states that the mutual information between any Boolean function of an $n$-dimensional vector of independent and identically distributed inputs to a memoryless binary symmetric channel and the…
We consider some formulations of the entropy bounds at the semiclassical level. The entropy S(V) localized in a region V is divergent in quantum field theory (QFT). Instead of it we focus on the mutual information I(V,W)=S(V)+S(W)-S(V\cup…
It has been known for a long time that the mutual information between the input sequence and output of a binary symmetric channel (BSC) is upper bounded by the mutual information between the same input sequence and the output of a binary…
We consider the processing of statistical samples $X\sim P_\theta$ by a channel $p(y|x)$, and characterize how the statistical information from the samples for estimating the parameter $\theta\in\mathbb{R}^d$ can scale with the mutual…
We derive an approximate expression for mutual information in a broad class of discrete-time stationary channels with continuous input, under the constraint of vanishing input amplitude or power. The approximation describes the input by its…
We investigate the fundamental limits of reliable communication over multi-view channels, in which the channel output is comprised of a large number of independent noisy views of a transmitted symbol. We consider first the setting of…
Mutual information $I(X;Y)$ is a useful definition in information theory to estimate how much information the random variable $Y$ holds about the random variable $X$. One way to define the mutual information is by comparing the joint…
The quadratic decaying property of the information rate function states that given a fixed conditional distribution $p_{\mathsf{Y}|\mathsf{X}}$, the mutual information between the (finite) discrete random variables $\mathsf{X}$ and…
In this paper the cognitive interference channel with a common message, a variation of the classical cognitive interference channel in which the cognitive message is decoded at both receivers, is studied. For this channel model new outer…
One of the basic tenets in information theory, the data processing inequality states that output divergence does not exceed the input divergence for any channel. For channels without input constraints, various estimates on the amount of…
The single-letter characterisation of the entanglement-assisted capacity of a quantum channel is one of the seminal results of quantum information theory. In this paper, we consider a modified communication scenario in which the receiver is…
We show that quantum-to-classical channels, i.e., quantum measurements, can be asymptotically simulated by an amount of classical communication equal to the quantum mutual information of the measurement, if sufficient shared randomness is…
We consider the estimation of a signal from the knowledge of its noisy linear random Gaussian projections. A few examples where this problem is relevant are compressed sensing, sparse superposition codes, and code division multiple access.…
"Bounds on information combining" are entropic inequalities that determine how the information (entropy) of a set of random variables can change when these are combined in certain prescribed ways. Such bounds play an important role in…
