Rationality and computability of the covering radius for sofic shifts
Tom Meyerovitch, Aidan Young
The covering radius of a shift space is a quantity of interest for information-theoretic applications of data transmission over noisy channels. We prove that the covering radius of…
Adversarial ergodic optimization
Aidan Young
In this article, we introduce an ergodic optimization problem inspired by information theory, which can be presented informally as follows: given a factor map $Ï: (X, T) \to (Y, S…
An ergodic Lebesgue differentiation theorem
Aidan Young
We show that if is a probability measure-preserving dynamical system, and is a countable partition of , then the limit $$ \lim_{n, k \to \infty}…
Non-alternating mean payoff games
Tom Meyerovitch, Aidan Young
We present and study a variant of the mean payoff games introduced by A. Ehrenfeucht and J. Mycielski. In this version, the second player makes an infinite sequence of moves only a…
