  • Abstract
    The authors present a unified approach to optimization techniques in Shannon theory. They illustrate their approach with the following examples: code length game where the cost function is zero and there are no side conditions; a game with no side conditions; and a prediction problem where one has to guess the second letter in a sequence of 2 letters from an alphabet.
