Probabilistic Methods and Distributed Information

More about the book

Focusing on arbitrarily varying channels (AVC), this volume showcases Rudolf Ahlswede's expertise in Information Theory. It includes a survey on AVC and wiretap channels by Holger Boche and Ahmed Mansour. The book also covers continuous data compression and extensively discusses distributed information, highlighting key topics like "multiple descriptions" and "network coding," where Ahlswede made significant contributions. The final section addresses statistical inference under communication constraints, based on a highly acclaimed joint paper with Imre Csiszar.
