In this paper we relate t-designs to a forbidden configuration problem in extremal set theory. Let 1_t 0_l denote a column of t 1's on top of l 0's. We assume t>l. Let q. (1_t 0_l) denote the (t+l)xq matrix consisting of t rows of q 1's and…

The study of the fundamental limits of information systems is a central theme in information theory. Both the traditional analytical approach and the recently proposed computational approach have significant limitations, where the former is…

In robust combinatorial optimization, we would like to find a solution that performs well under all realizations of an uncertainty set of possible parameter values. How we model this uncertainty set has a decisive influence on the…

The optimal decoder achieving the outage capacity under imperfect channel estimation is investigated. First, by searching into the family of nearest neighbor decoders, which can be easily implemented on most practical coded modulation…

We consider the group testing problem, in the case where the items are defective independently but with non-constant probability. We introduce and analyse an algorithm to solve this problem by grouping items together appropriately. We give…

This work considers a binomial noise channel. The paper can be roughly divided into two parts. The first part is concerned with the properties of the capacity-achieving distribution. In particular, for the binomial channel, it is not known…

Given a set $\Pi$ of permutation patterns of length at most $k$, we present an algorithm for building $S_{\le n}(\Pi)$, the set of permutations of length at most $n$ avoiding the patterns in $\Pi$, in time $O(|S_{\le n - 1}(\Pi)| \cdot k +…

We consider the problem of modulation and estimation of a random parameter $U$ to be conveyed across a discrete memoryless channel. Upper and lower bounds are derived for the best achievable exponential decay rate of a general moment of the…

This paper explores the computational complexity involved in determining the capacity of the band-limited additive colored Gaussian noise (ACGN) channel and its capacity-achieving power spectral density (p.s.d.). The study reveals that when…

There has been a lot of interest recently in proving lower bounds on the size of linear programs needed to represent a given polytope P. In a breakthrough paper Fiorini et al. [Proceedings of 44th ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing 2012,…

Tight bounds on the block entropy of patterns of sequences generated by independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) sources are derived. A pattern of a sequence is a sequence of integer indices with each index representing the order of…

Matrix multiplication is one of the key operations in various engineering applications. Outsourcing large-scale matrix multiplication tasks to multiple distributed servers or cloud is desirable to speed up computation. However, security…

Computation of the large sparse matrix exponential has been an important topic in many fields, such as network and finite-element analysis. The existing scaling and squaring algorithm (SSA) is not suitable for the computation of the large…

We derive lower bounds on the maximal rates for multiple packings in high-dimensional Euclidean spaces. Multiple packing is a natural generalization of the sphere packing problem. For any $ N>0 $ and $ L\in\mathbb{Z}_{\ge2} $, a multiple…

In many high-dimensional problems, like sparse-PCA, planted clique, or clustering, the best known algorithms with polynomial time complexity fail to reach the statistical performance provably achievable by algorithms free of computational…

This paper studies the theory of the additive wireless network model, in which the received signal is abstracted as an addition of the transmitted signals. Our central observation is that the crucial challenge for computing in this model is…

We consider a class of pattern matching problems where a normalising transformation is applied at every alignment. Normalised pattern matching plays a key role in fields as diverse as image processing and musical information processing…

The problem of variable-rate lossless data compression is considered, for codes with and without prefix constraints. Sharp bounds are derived for the best achievable compression rate of memoryless sources, when the excess-rate probability…

In Part II we show that there exist quantum codes whose probability of undetected error falls exponentially with the length of the code and derive bounds on this exponent.The lower (existence) bound for stabilizer codes is proved by a…

Coded multicasting has been shown to improve the caching performance of content delivery networks with multiple caches downstream of a common multicast link. However, the schemes that have been shown to achieve order-optimal perfor- mance…
