Mean Square Capacity of Power Constrained Fading Channels with Causal Encoders and Decoders

This paper is concerned with the mean square stabilization problem of discrete-time LTI systems over a power constrained fading channel. Different from existing research works, the channel considered in this paper suffers from both fading and additive noises. We allow any form of causal channel encoders/decoders, unlike linear encoders/decoders commonly studied in the literature. Sufficient conditions and necessary conditions for the mean square stabilizability are given in terms of channel parameters such as transmission power and fading and additive noise statistics in relation to the unstable eigenvalues of the open-loop system matrix. The corresponding mean square capacity of the power constrained fading channel under causal encoders/decoders is given. It is proved that this mean square capacity is smaller than the corresponding Shannon channel capacity. In the end, numerical examples are presented, which demonstrate that the causal encoders/decoders render less restrictive stabilizability conditions than those under linear encoders/decoders studied in the existing works.Comment: Accepted by the 54th IEEE Conference on Decision and Contro

U-spin analysis of CP violation in B−B^- decays into three charged light pseudoscalar mesons

We carry out a $U$-spin symmetry analysis for CP violation in $B^-$ decays into three light $\pi^-\pi^-\pi^+$, $\pi^- K^-K^+$, $K^-K^-K^+$ and $K^- \pi^-\pi^+$ mesons. We clarify some subtle points in constructing decay amplitudes with $U=0$ formed by the two negatively charged light mesons in the final states. $U$-spin conserving momentum independent and momentum dependent decay amplitudes, and $U$-spin violating decay amplitudes due to quark mass difference are constructed.Comment: RevTex 12 pages wit no figur
