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 from the USA, Russia, Hungary and
(which Ahlswede was probably in a unique position to describe) the
German school centered around his supervisor Konrad Jacobs. These
lectures made an approach to a rigorous justification of the
foundations of Information Theory. This is the second of several
volumes documenting Rudolf Ahlswede's lectures on Information
Theory. Each volume includes comments from an invited well-known
expert. In the supplement to the present volume, Gerhard Kramer
contributes his insights. Classical information processing concerns
the main tasks of gaining knowledge and the storage, transmission
and hiding of data. The first task is the prime goal of Statistics.
For transmission and hiding data, Shannon developed an impressive
mathematical theory called Information Theory, which he based on
probabilistic models. The theory largely involves the concept of
codes with small error probabilities in spite of noise in the
transmission, which is modeled by channels. The lectures presented
in this work are suitable for graduate students in Mathematics, and
also for those working in Theoretical Computer Science, Physics,
and Electrical Engineering with a background in basic Mathematics.
The lectures can be used as the basis for courses or to supplement
courses in many ways. Ph.D. students will also find research
problems, often with conjectures, that offer potential subjects for
a thesis. More advanced researchers may find questions which form
the basis of entire research programs.
