Abstract
In this paper we study moments of soft-bits of binary-input symmetric-output channels and solve some extremal problems of the moments. We use these results to solve the extremal information combining problem. Further, we extend the information combining problem by adding a constraint on the second moment of soft-bits, and find the extreme distributions for this new problem
