Abstract

Hypothesis testing was performed in order to compute channel capacity in information theory. Two general classes of optimization such as convex and linear programs were considered, and constrained set was defined by a finite number of moment constraints. It was assumed that the constraints were such that each π ∈P was a probability distribution, and equality constraints were also considered using the same notation. It was possible to obtain worst-case bounds on the probability of a given set, and overall probability distributions in a given moment class.
