Guessing and Compression : A Large Deviations Approach
The problem of guessing a random string is studied. It arises in the analysis of the strength of secret-key cryptosystems against guessing attacks. Expected number of guesses, or more generally moments of the number of guesses needed to break the cryptosystem grow exponentially with the length of the string. This thesis studies the rate of exponential growth of these moments using the theory of...
متن کاملA Simple Card Guessing Game Revisited
A deck of cards consisting of m red and n black cards is given. A guess is made as to the colour of the top card, after which it is revealed and discarded. To maximise the number of correct guesses one chooses the colour corresponding to the majority of cards remaining in the deck. We determine the expected number of correct guesses with this strategy, as well as the probability of beating an o...
متن کاملConvergent sequences of sparse graphs: A large deviations approach
In this paper we introduce a new notion of convergence of sparse graphs which we call Large Deviations or LD-convergence and which is based on the theory of large deviations. The notion is introduced by ”decorating” the nodes of the graph with random uniform i.i.d. weights and constructing random measures on [0, 1] and [0, 1]2 based on the decoration of nodes and edges. A graph sequence is defi...
متن کاملRobust detection of signals: A large deviations approach
Ahstruct-Robust detection of a signal is considered for the case of independent and identically distributed observations. Following an asymptotic but nonlocal approach, the exponential rates of decrease of the error probabilities are considered as measure of performance. Under this measure a robust detection structure for the symmetric density case is derived. This detection structure is a gene...
متن کاملA large deviations approach to optimal long term investment
We consider an investment model where the objective is to overperform a given benchmark or index. We study this portfolio management problem for a long term horizon. This asymptotic criterion leads to a large deviation probability control problem. Its dual problem is an ergodic risk sensitive control problem on the optimal logarithmicmoment generating function that is explicitly derived.A caref...
