This book is rooted in the thesis that complexity theory is extremely rich in conceptual
content, and that this contents should be explicitly communicated in expositions and courses …

Shannon's determination of the capacity of the linear Gaussian channel has posed a
magnificent challenge to succeeding generations of researchers. This paper surveys how …

Information theory and inference, often taught separately, are here united in one entertaining
textbook. These topics lie at the heart of many exciting areas of contemporary science and …

The CRC Handbook of Finite Fields (hereafter referred to as the Handbook) is a reference
book for the theory and applications of finite fields. It is not intended to be an introductory …

A method is described for constructing long error-correcting codes from one or more shorter
error-correcting codes, referred to as subcodes, and a bipartite graph. A graph is shown …

We report the empirical performance of Gallager's low density parity check codes on
Gaussian channels. We show that performance substantially better than that of standard …

We study two families of error-correcting codes defined in terms of very sparse matrices."
MN"(MacKay-Neal (1995)) codes are recently invented, and" Gallager codes" were first …
