Lower Bounds for Unambiguous Automata via Communication Complexity

Mika Tapani Göös, Weiqiang Yuan

We use results from communication complexity, both new and old ones, to prove lower bounds for unambiguous finite automata (UFAs). We show three results. 1) Complement: There is a language L recognised by an n-state UFA such that the complement language ̅L ...

On the Dispersions of the Gel'fand-Pinsker Channel and Dirty Paper Coding

Jonathan Mark Scarlett

This paper studies the second-order coding rates for memoryless channels with a state sequence known non-causally at the encoder. In the case of finite alphabets, an achievability result is obtained using constant-composition random coding, and by using a ...

Asymptotically Optimal Matching of Multiple Sequences to Source Distributions and Training Sequences

Jayakrishnan Unnikrishnan

Consider a finite set of sources, each producing independent identically distributed observations that follow a unique probability distribution on a finite alphabet. We study the problem of matching a finite set of observed sequences to the set of sources ...

On Optimal Two Sample Homogeneity Tests for Finite Alphabets

Jayakrishnan Unnikrishnan

Suppose we are given two independent strings of data from a known finite alphabet. We are interested in testing the null hypothesis that both the strings were drawn from the same distribution, assuming that the samples within each string are mutually indep ...

Irregular Product Codes

Mohammad Amin Shokrollahi, Ghid Maatouk, Masoud Alipour Babaei, Seyed Omid Etesami

We introduce irregular product codes, a class of codes where each codeword is represented by a matrix and the entries in each row (column) of the matrix come from a component row (column) code. As opposed to standard product codes, we do not require that a ...

Polar Codes for the m-User Multiple Access Channel

Emre Telatar, Emmanuel Abbé

In this paper, polar codes for the m-user multiple access channel (MAC) with binary inputs are constructed. It is shown that Arikan's polarization technique applied individually to each user transforms independent uses of an m-user binary input MAC into su ...

Rank-Deficient Quadratic-Form Maximization Over M-Phase Alphabet: Polynomial-Complexity Solvability And Algorithmic Developments

Anastasios Kyrillidis

The maximization of a positive (semi) definite complex quadratic form over a finite alphabet is NP-hard and achieved through exhaustive search when the form has full rank. However, if the form is rank-deficient, the optimal solution can be computed with on ...

Asymmetric information embedding

Mohammad Amin Shokrollahi

In the Information Embedding Problem one is given a piece of data which can be altered only conditionally, for example only at certain places. One is then asked to embed an arbitrary message into the data by only applying admissible changes to the data. Th ...

File download and streaming system

Mohammad Amin Shokrollahi

A method of encoding data for transmission from a source to a destination over a communications channel is provided. The method operates on an ordered set of input symbols and includes generating a plurality of redundant symbols from the input symbols. The ...

A mealy machine with polynomial growth of irrational degree

We consider a very simple Mealy machine ( two nontrivial states over a two-symbol alphabet), and derive some properties of the semigroup it generates. It is an infinite, finitely generated semigroup, and we show that the growth function of its balls behave ...

On Average Throughput Benefits and Alphabet Size in Network Coding

Christina Fragouli

e analyze a special class of configurations with h sources and N receivers to demonstrate the throughput benefits of network coding and deterministic code design. We show that the throughput benefits network coding offers can increase proportionally to \sq ...

Algebraic methods for channel coding

Frédérique Oggier

This work is dedicated to developing algebraic methods for channel coding. Its goal is to show that in different contexts, namely single-antenna Rayleigh fading channels, coherent and non-coherent MIMO channels, algebraic techniques can provide useful tool ...
