Cover Story: This picture shows the uncertainty sets associated with received codewords in a communication system. Each set represents a possible received signal, and to achieve capacity at a given level of confidence, the sets are tightly packed in space and partially overlap. In this paper, we demonstrate that the highest rate of communication at a given level of confidence corresponds to a non-stochastic notion of mutual information between transmitted and received signals, expressed in terms of the quantization of the range of uncertainty of one signal given knowledge of the other. This provides a generalization of Kolmogorov’s capacity to sets with partial overlap and an information-theoretic interpretation of this quantity that admits the possibility of decoding errors, as in classical information theory, while retaining the worst-case, non-stochastic character of Kolmogorov’s approach.
