New Formulas of Feedback Capacity for AGN Channels with Memory: A Time-Domain Sufficient Statistic Approach by Charalambos D. Charalambous, Christos Kourtellaris, Stelios Louka

“…Recently, several papers identified technical issues related to equivalent time-domain and frequency-domain “characterization of the <i>n</i>–block or transmission” feedback capacity formula and its asymptotic limit, the feedback capacity, of additive Gaussian noise (AGN) channels, first introduce by Cover and Pombra in 1989 (IEEE Transactions on Information Theory). The main objective of this paper is to derive new results on the Cover and Pombra characterization of the <i>n</i>–block feedback capacity formula, and to clarify the main points of confusion regarding the time-domain results that appeared in the literature. …”
