Transmitting and Gaining Data : Rudolf Ahlswede's Lectures on Information Theory 2 /

The calculation of channel capacities was one of Rudolf Ahlswede's specialties and is the main topic of this second volume of his Lectures on Information Theory. Here we find a detailed account of some very classical material from the early days of Information Theory, including developments fro...
