Refined Strong Converse for the Constant Composition Codes
Hao-Chung Cheng, Baris Nakiboglu
A strong converse bound for constant composition codes of the form is established using the Berry-Esseen the…
A Simple Derivation of the Refined Sphere Packing Bound Under Certain Symmetry Hypotheses
Baris Nakiboglu
A judicious application of the Berry-Esseen theorem via suitable Augustin information measures is demonstrated to be sufficient for deriving the sphere packing bound with a prefact…
The Sphere Packing Bound for DSPCs with Feedback a la Augustin
Baris Nakiboglu
Establishing the sphere packing bound for block codes on the discrete stationary product channels with feedback ---which are commonly called the discrete memoryless channels with f…
The Sphere Packing Bound For Memoryless Channels
Baris Nakiboglu
Sphere packing bounds (SPBs) ---with prefactors that are polynomial in the block length--- are derived for codes on two families of memoryless channels using Augustin's method: (po…
The Augustin Capacity and Center
Baris Nakiboglu
For any channel, the existence of a unique Augustin mean is established for any positive order and probability mass function on the input set. The Augustin mean is shown to be the…
