Computation of Channel Capacity Based on Self-Concordant Functions

الملخص EN

The computation of channel capacity is a classical issue in information theory.

We prove that algorithms based on self-concordant functions can be used to deal with such issues, especially when constrains are included.

A new algorithm to compute the channel capacity per unit cost is proposed.

The same view is suited to the computation of maximum entropy.

All the algorithms are of polynomial time.
