On the asymptotic accuracy of the union bound
نویسنده
چکیده
A new lower bound on the error probability of maximum likelihood decoding of a binary code on a binary symmetric channel (BSC) was proved in Barg and McGregor (2004, cs.IT/0407011). It was observed in that paper that this bound leads to a new region of code rates in which the random coding exponent is asymptotically tight, giving a new region in which the reliability of the BSC is known exactly. The present paper explains a relation of these results to the union bound on the error probability.

On a sequence related to the coprime integers
The asymptotic behaviour of the sequence with general term $P_n=(varphi(1)+varphi(2)+cdots+varphi(n))/(1+2+cdots+n)$, is studied which appears in the studying of coprime integers, and an explicit bound for the difference $P_n-6/pi^2$ is found.
متن کاملAsymptotic algorithm for computing the sample variance of interval data
The problem of the sample variance computation for epistemic inter-val-valued data is, in general, NP-hard. Therefore, known efficient algorithms for computing variance require strong restrictions on admissible intervals like the no-subset property or heavy limitations on the number of possible intersections between intervals. A new asymptotic algorithm for computing the upper bound of the samp...
متن کاملA Berry-Esseen Type Bound for the Kernel Density Estimator of Length-Biased Data
Length-biased data are widely seen in applications. They are mostly applicable in epidemiological studies or survival analysis in medical researches. Here we aim to propose a Berry-Esseen type bound for the kernel density estimator of this kind of data.The rate of normal convergence in the proposed Berry-Esseen type theorem is shown to be O(n^(-1/6) ) modulo logarithmic term as n tends to infin...
متن کاملAsymptotic Analysis of Binary Gas Mixture Separation by Nanometric Tubular Ceramic Membranes: Cocurrent and Countercurrent Flow Patterns
Analytical gas-permeation models for predicting the separation process across membranes (exit compositions and area requirement) constitutes an important and necessary step in understanding the overall performance of membrane modules. But, the exact (numerical) solution methods suffer from the complexity of the solution. Therefore, solutions of nonlinear ordinary differential equations th...
متن کاملContinuous dependence on coefficients for stochastic evolution equations with multiplicative Levy Noise and monotone nonlinearity
Semilinear stochastic evolution equations with multiplicative L'evy noise are considered. The drift term is assumed to be monotone nonlinear and with linear growth. Unlike other similar works, we do not impose coercivity conditions on coefficients. We establish the continuous dependence of the mild solution with respect to initial conditions and also on coefficients. As corollaries of ...
