We study the discrete memoryless Z-interference channel (ZIC) where the transmitter of the pair that suffers from interference is cognitive. We first provide upper and lower bounds on the capacity of this channel. We then show that, when the channel of the transmitter-receiver pair that does not face interference is noiseless, the two bounds coincide and therefore yield the capacity region. The...

Let pX,μq be a standard probability space. An automorphism T of this space has the weak Pinsker property if for every ε ą 0 it is isomorphic to a direct product of a Bernoulli shift and an automorphism of entropy less than ε. This property was introduced by Thouvenot, who conjectured that it holds for all measure-preserving systems. This paper proves Thouvenot’s conjecture. The proof applies wi...

We define a new notion of weak containment for joinings, and we show that this notion implies an inequality between relative Rokhlin entropies. This leads to new upper bounds to Rokhlin entropy. We also use this notion to study how Pinsker algebras behave under direct products, and we study the Rokhlin entropy of restricted actions of finite-index subgroups.

We give algebraic characterizations for expansiveness of algebraic actions of countable groups. The notion of p-expansiveness is introduced for algebraic actions, and we show that for countable amenable groups, a finitely presented algebraic action is 1-expansive exactly when it has finite entropy. We also study the local entropy theory for actions of countable amenable groups on compact groups...

We introduce a version of Voiculescu-Brown approximation entropy for isometric automorphisms of Banach spaces and develop within this framework the connection between dynamics and the local theory of Banach spaces as discovered by Glasner and Weiss. Our fundamental result concerning this contractive approximation entropy, or CA entropy, characterizes the occurrence of positive values both geome...

In this paper we further develop the theory of f-divergences for log-concave functions and their related inequalities. We establish Pinsker inequalities new affine invariant entropy obtain on functional surface area lower upper bounds Kullback-Leibler divergence in terms area.

A new achievability scheme for the compound channel with discrete memoryless (DM) state noncausally available at the encoder is established. Achievability is proved using superposition coding, Marton coding, joint typicality encoding, and indirect decoding. The scheme is shown to achieve strictly higher rate than the straightforward extension of the Gelfand-Pinsker coding scheme for a single DM...

Abstracl-The capacity of time-varying additive Gaussian noise cbannels with feedback is characterized. Toward this end, an asymptotic equipartition theorem for nonstationary Gaussian processes is proved. Then, with the aid of certain matrix inequalities, it is proved that the feedback capacity C,, in bits per transmission and the nonfeedback capacity C satisfy C 5 CFB < 2C (a result obtained by...
