  1. Technical Report: Observability of a Linear System under Sparsity Constraints.

    Authors: Wei Dai, Serdar Yüksel
    Subjects: Information Theory
    Abstract

    Consider an n-dimensional linear system where it is known that there are at
    most k<n non-zero components in the initial state. The observability problem,
    that is the recovery of the initial state, for such a system is considered. We
    obtain sufficient conditions on the number of the available observations to be
    able to recover the initial state exactly for such a system. Both deterministic
    and stochastic setups are considered for system dynamics.

    Abstract

    We consider the transmission of a Gaussian vector source over a
    multi-dimensional Gaussian channel where a random or a fixed subset of the
    channel outputs are erased. We consider the setup where the only encoding
    operation allowed is a linear unitary transformation on the source.

  3. On the Capacity of Memoryless Finite-State Multiple Access Channels with Asymmetric Noisy State Information at the Encoders.

    Abstract

    We consider the capacity of memoryless finite-state multiple access channel
    (FS-MAC) with causal asymmetric noisy state information available at both
    transmitters and noisy state information available at the receiver. Single
    letter inner and outer bounds are provided for the capacity of such channels
    when the state process is independent and identically distributed. The outer
    bound is attained by observing that the proposed inner bound is tight for the
    sum-rate capacity.

  4. On the Capacity of Memoryless Finite-State Multiple-Access Channels with Asymmetric State Information at the Encoders.

    Authors: Serdar Y&#xfc;ksel, Giacomo Como
    Subjects: Information Theory
    Abstract

    A single-letter characterization is provided for the capacity region of
    finite-state multiple-access channels, when the channel state process is an
    independent and identically distributed sequence, the transmitters have access
    to partial (quantized) state information, and complete channel state
    information is available at the receiver. The partial channel state information
    is assumed to be asymmetric at the encoders. As a main contribution, a tight
    converse coding theorem is presented.

  5. Random-Time, State-Dependent Stochastic Drift for Markov Chains and Application to Stochastic Stabilization Over Erasure Channels.

    Authors: Sean P. Meyn, Serdar Y&#xfc;ksel
    Subjects: Optimization and Control
    Abstract

    It is known that state-dependent, multi-step Lyapunov bounds lead to greatly
    simplified verification theorems for stability, for large classes of Markov
    chain models --- This is one component of the ``fluid model'' approach to
    stability of stochastic networks. In this paper we extend the general theory to
    randomized multi-step Lyapunov theory to obtain criteria for the existence of a
    finite steady state, as well as finite moments.

  6. On Optimal Causal Coding of Partially Observed Markov Sources in Single and Multi-Terminal Settings.

    Authors: Serdar Y&#xfc;ksel
    Subjects: Information Theory
    Abstract

    The optimal causal coding of a partially observed Markov process is studied,
    where the cost to be minimized is a bounded, non-negative, additive, measurable
    single-letter function of the source and the receiver output. A structural
    result is obtained extending Witsenhausen's and Walrand-Varaiya's structural
    results on the optimal real-time coders to a partially observed setting. The
    decentralized (multi-terminal) setup is also considered. For the case where the
    source is an i.i.d.
