In this report we formally obtain some results regarding likelihood ratios and mutual information for (conditional) Poisson processes with stochastic intensity functions. Our results for likelihood ratios are an extension of results obtained recently by Snyderl ' Z by a somewhat different approach (Snyder considers the case where the stochastic intensity function is Markovian while our results ...

Our major research objective is the same as it has been for many years, although it has not been previously stated explicitly. First, we attempt to discover fundamental performance limits to be placed on functions performed by solid-state devices, in terms of the technological and physical parameters of the devices. Second, we attempt to provide the necessary circuit imbeddment procedures to re...
