InformationTheory.Shannon.ChannelCoding.StrongConverse
Channel coding strong converse — Verdú-Han single-shot lower bound #
Single-shot Verdú-Han lower bound for the channel coding strong converse.
For any code c, reference output law Q^n, and γ > 0, with threshold := log M + γ:
1 - (c.averageErrorProb W).toReal
≤ exp γ + (1 / M) * ∑ m, P_m^n (highLLRSet W c Q^n threshold m)
where P_m^n := Measure.pi (fun i => W (c.encoder m i)) and
highLLRSet W c Q^n t m := { y | P_m^n.real {y} > exp(t) · Q^n.real {y} }.
The asymptotic Pe → 1 conclusion (for log M / n > I + δ) requires a WLLN step
handled in a separate file.
Implementation notes #
The reference measure Q^n is an arbitrary probability measure (not necessarily
i.i.d. (outputDistribution p W)^n), following Verdú-Han's deterministic formulation
and separating the input-distribution dependence to the caller.
Per-codeword information-density lower bound #

codeword m exceeds the reference Q by more than exp(threshold).

sourcePer-codeword Markov-style bound: For each codeword m, the channel
output mass on s \ highLLR_m is bounded by exp(threshold) · Q(s).

InformationTheory.Shannon.ChannelCoding.channelCoding_per_codeword_decomposition
sourceVerdú-Han single-shot strong-converse decomposition (per-codeword):
For any codeword m, any measurable s,
P_m^n(s) ≤ exp(threshold) · Q(s) + P_m^n(highLLR_m)
The "good" (low-LLR) part is absorbed into the Q-mass term; the "bad" (high-LLR)
part is the explicit tail term. Channel-coding analogue of
steinTypicalSet_Q_prob_ge.

InformationTheory.Shannon.ChannelCoding.channelCoding_one_sub_avgErr_eq
sourceAlgebraic identity: 1 - avgErrorProb = (1/M) · ∑_m Pm(decodingRegion m),
where Pm = Measure.pi (fun i => W (encoder m i)).
Used by
InformationTheory.Shannon.ChannelCoding.channelCoding_average_success_le
sourceAverage-codeword Verdú-Han bound:
Average the per-codeword decomposition over the uniform message distribution
to get the strong-converse-style lower bound on success probability 1 - avgPe:
1 - avgPe ≤ exp(threshold) / M + (1 / M) · ∑_m P_m^n(highLLR_m)
The decoding regions form a measurable partition of Fin n → β, so summing
Q.real (decodingRegion m) gives Q.real univ ≤ 1 (since Q is a probability
measure), and the first term collapses to exp(threshold)/M.
