On Correlation Detection and Alignment Recovery of Gaussian Databases

Ran Tamir

In this work, we propose an efficient two-stage algorithm solving a joint problem of correlation detection and partial alignment recovery between two Gaussian databases. Correlatio…

Fast Convergence to Unanimity in Dense Erdős-Rényi Graphs

Ran Tamir

Majority dynamics on the binomial Erdős-Rényi graph with is studied. In this process, each vertex has a state in and at each round, every…

Error Exponents of the Dirty-Paper and Gel'fand-Pinsker Channels

Ran Tamir, Neri Merhav

We derive various error exponents for communication channels with random states, which are available non-causally at the encoder only. For both the finite-alphabet Gel'fand-Pinsker…

Entropy Rate Bounds via Second-Order Statistics

Ran Tamir

This work contains two single-letter upper bounds on the entropy rate of a discrete-valued stationary stochastic process, which only depend on second-order statistics, and are prim…

Simple Majority Consensus in Networks with Unreliable Communication

Ran Tamir, Ariel Livshits, Yonatan Shadmi

In this work, we analyze the performance of a simple majority-rule protocol solving a fundamental coordination problem in distributed systems - \emph{binary majority consensus}, in…

Error Exponents in the Bee Identification Problem

Ran Tamir, Neri Merhav

We derive various error exponents in the bee identification problem under two different decoding rules. Under naïve decoding, which decodes each bee independently of the others, we…

The MMI Decoder is Asymptotically Optimal for the Typical Random Code and for the Expurgated Code

Ran Tamir, Neri Merhav

We provide two results concerning the optimality of the maximum mutual information (MMI) decoder. First, we prove that the error exponents of the typical random codes under the opt…

Trade-offs Between Error Exponents and Excess-Rate Exponents of Typical Slepian-Wolf Codes

Ran Tamir, Neri Merhav

Typical random codes (TRC) in a communication scenario of source coding with side information at the decoder is the main subject of this work. We study the semi-deterministic code…

Large Deviations Behavior of the Logarithmic Error Probability of Random Codes

Ran Tamir, Neri Merhav, Nir Weinberger +1

This work studies the deviations of the error exponent of the constant composition code ensemble around its expectation, known as the error exponent of the typical random code (TRC…
