The objective of the present edition of this monograph is the same
as that of earlier editions, namely, to provide readers with some
mathemati cal maturity a rigorous and modern introduction to the
ideas and principal theorems of probabilistic information theory.
It is not necessary that readers have any prior knowledge whatever
of information theory. The rapid development of the subject has had
the consequence that any one book can now cover only a fraction of
the literature. The latter is often written by engineers for
engineers, and the mathematical reader may have some difficulty
with it. The mathematician who understands the content and methods
of this monograph should be able to read the literature and start
on research of his own in a subject of mathematical beauty and
interest. The present edition differs from the second in the
following: Chapter 6 has been completely replaced by one on
arbitrarily varying channels. Chapter 7 has been greatly enlarged.
Chapter 8 on semi-continuous channels has been drastically
shortened, and Chapter 11 on sequential decoding completely
removed. The new Chapters 11-15 consist entirely of material which
has been developed only in the last few years. The topics discussed
are rate distortion, source coding, multiple access channels, and
degraded broadcast channels. Even the specialist will find a new
approach in the treatment of these subjects. Many of the proofs are
new, more perspicuous, and considerably shorter than the original
ones."
