| 金声玉亮2.0 | To solve this problem, we need to calculate the mutual information \(I(X_n;Y_n)\) and then take the limit as \(n\) approaches infinity. The mutual information between two random variables \(X\) and \(Y\) is defined as \(I(X;Y) = H(X) - H(X|Y)\), where \(H(X)\) is the entropy of \(X\) and \(H(X|Y)\) is the conditional entropy of \(X\) given \(Y\). In this problem, we have a binary symmetric channel with parameter \(p=0.5\). This means that each bit is flipped with probability \(0.5\) and transmitted correctly with probability \(0.5\). Since \(X_1\) is Bernoulli distributed with parameter \(1/2\), it has entropy \(H(X_1) = 1\) bit. Now, let's consider the mutual information \(I(X_n;Y_n)\). Since \(X_n=Y_{n-1}\), we have \(I(X_n;Y_n) = I(Y_{n-1};Y_n)\). The mutual information between two successive outputs of a binary symmetric channel can be calculated using the following formula: \[I(Y_{n-1};Y_n) = H(Y_n) - H(Y_n|Y_{n-1})\] Since the channel is symmetric with parameter \(p=0.5\), we have \(H(Y_n) = 1\) bit. Also, since the channel is memoryless, we have \(H(Y_n|Y_{n-1}) = H(Y_n) = 1\) bit. Therefore, we have: \[I(Y_{n-1};Y_n) = H(Y_n) - H(Y_n|Y_{n-1}) = 1 - 1 = 0\] Thus, we have: \[\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{1}{n} I(X_n;Y_n) = \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{1}{n} I(Y_{n-1};Y_n) = \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{1}{n} \cdot 0 = 0\] Therefore, the answer is \(\boxed{0}\). |

| deepseekr1 | Given a binary symmetric channel (BSC) with parameter \( p = 0.5 \) and feedback, where each received symbol \( Y_i \) becomes the next transmission \( X_{i+1} \), we need to find the limit as \( n \) approaches infinity of \( \frac{1}{n} I(X_n; Y_n) \) in bits. 1. **Channel Model**: The BSC with \( p = 0.5 \) means each bit is flipped with probability 0.5. This results in the output \( Y_i \) being independent of the input \( X_i \) because the channel is completely noisy. 2. **Feedback Mechanism**: Each transmission \( X_{i+1} \) is set to the previously received symbol \( Y_i \). This creates a sequence where each \( X_i \) and \( Y_i \) are related through the channel noise. 3. **Mutual Information Analysis**: - For each \( n \), \( X_n \) is Bernoulli(0.5) because it is derived from a series of noisy transmissions. - The received symbol \( Y_n \) is \( X_n \) passed through the BSC with \( p = 0.5 \), making \( Y_n \) also Bernoulli(0.5) and independent of \( X_n \). - Mutual information \( I(X_n; Y_n) \) is calculated as \( H(Y_n) - H(Y_n | X_n) \). Since \( Y_n \) is independent of \( X_n \), \( H(Y_n | X_n) = H(Y_n) \), leading to \( I(X_n; Y_n) = 0 \). 4. **Average Mutual Information**: Since each term \( I(X_n; Y_n) = 0 \), the average \( \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^n I(X_i; Y_i) \) is zero for all \( n \). Therefore, the limit as \( n \) approaches infinity is also zero. Thus, the limit is \(\boxed{0}\). |

| gpto1 | To solve the problem, we start by understanding the behavior of the binary symmetric channel (BSC) with parameter \( p = 0.5 \). In such a channel, the crossover probability—the probability that a transmitted bit is flipped—is \( p = 0.5 \). This means that the output of the channel is entirely independent of the input; the output is just a random Bernoulli(1/2) bit, regardless of the input bit. Given the setup: - \( X_1 \) is a Bernoulli(1/2) random variable. - For \( n \geq 2 \), \( X_n = Y_{n-1} \). - The channel is a BSC with \( p = 0.5 \), so \( Y_n \) is independent of \( X_n \) and is Bernoulli(1/2). Let's analyze the sequences \( \{X_n\} \) and \( \{Y_n\} \): 1. **Sequence \( \{X_n\} \):** Since \( X_n = Y_{n-1} \) and \( Y_{n-1} \) is a Bernoulli(1/2) random variable (independent of \( X_{n-1} \)), \( X_n \) is also a Bernoulli(1/2) random variable. Thus, the sequence \( \{X_n\} \) consists of IID Bernoulli(1/2) random variables. 2. **Sequence \( \{Y_n\} \):** Since the channel output \( Y_n \) is independent of \( X_n \) (due to \( p = 0.5 \)) and the channel always outputs a Bernoulli(1/2) bit, the sequence \( \{Y_n\} \) is also IID Bernoulli(1/2). Moreover, \( Y_n \) is independent of \( Y_{n-1} \) and \( X_n \). 3. **Mutual Information \( I(X_n; Y_n) \):** Since \( Y_n \) is independent of \( X_n \), the mutual information between \( X_n \) and \( Y_n \) is zero: \[ I(X_n; Y_n) = 0 \] Therefore, for all \( n \), \( I(X_n; Y_n) = 0 \), and thus: \[ \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{n} I(X_n; Y_n) = 0 \] This means that, on average, no information is transmitted per bit in this system because the channel is completely noisy with \( p = 0.5 \), and the output is independent of the input. **Answer: 0** |

| GPT-4o | To solve this problem, let's first understand the setup and the key information given: 1. **Binary Symmetric Channel (BSC)**: A binary symmetric channel with parameter \( p = 0.5 \) means that the probability of flipping a bit (0 to 1 or 1 to 0) is \( p = 0.5 \). 2. **Feedback Mechanism**: Each time a \( Y \) is received, it becomes the next transmission. This means \( X_1 \) is a Bernoulli random variable with parameter \( 1/2 \) (i.e., \( X_1 \sim \text{Bernoulli}(1/2) \)), and subsequent \( X_i \)'s are determined by the previous \( Y_{i-1} \). Thus, we have: \[ X_1 \sim \text{Bernoulli}(1/2) \] \[ X_2 = Y_1, \] \[ X_3 = Y_2, \] \[ \ldots, \] \[ X_n = Y_{n-1}. \] Now, consider the mutual information \( I(X_n; Y_n) \) for large \( n \). ### Mutual Information Calculation Mutual information \( I(X; Y) \) between two random variables \( X \) and \( Y \) measures the amount of information obtained about one random variable through the other. For a BSC with crossover probability \( p \), the mutual information \( I(X; Y) \) is given by: \[ I(X; Y) = 1 - H(p), \] where \( H(p) \) is the binary entropy function: \[ H(p) = -p \log_2 p - (1-p) \log_2 (1-p). \] For our specific case with \( p = 0.5 \): \[ H(0.5) = -0.5 \log_2 0.5 - 0.5 \log_2 0.5 = -0.5(-1) - 0.5(-1) = 1. \] Thus, \[ I(X; Y) = 1 - H(0.5) = 1 - 1 = 0. \] However, the mutual information \( I(X_n; Y_n) \) for large \( n \) in our problem is what we are interested in. ### Specific Case Analysis Given that \( p = 0.5 \) and the nature of the feedback mechanism, each \( X_i \) is essentially independent of \( Y_i \) because the channel with \( p = 0.5 \) randomizes the output completely. Therefore, \( Y_i \) contains no information about \( X_i \), as each bit is equally likely to flip. ### Limit Calculation Since \( I(X_n; Y_n) = 0 \) for a BSC with \( p = 0.5 \), we have: \[ \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{n} I(X_n; Y_n) = \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{n} \cdot 0 = 0. \] Thus, the solution is: \[ \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{1}{n} I(X_n;Y_n) = 0 \text{ bits}. \] |

| llama3.1-70B-Instruct | ## Step 1: Understand the problem and the given information We are dealing with a binary symmetric channel with parameter $p=0.5$, which means that the probability of a bit being flipped during transmission is 0.5. The feedback is used in such a way that each time a $Y$ is received, it becomes the next transmission. We need to find the limit of $\frac{1}{n} I(X_n;Y_n)$ as $n$ approaches infinity, where $I(X_n;Y_n)$ is the mutual information between $X_n$ and $Y_n$. ## Step 2: Determine the relationship between $X_n$ and $Y_n$ Since $X_2=Y_1$, $X_3=Y_2$, \ldots, $X_n=Y_{n-1}$, we can see that $X_n$ is a function of $Y_{n-1}$. This means that $X_n$ and $Y_n$ are not independent, and the mutual information between them is not zero. ## Step 3: Calculate the mutual information $I(X_n;Y_n)$ Since $X_n$ is a function of $Y_{n-1}$, we can write $I(X_n;Y_n) = I(Y_{n-1};Y_n)$. Using the chain rule of mutual information, we can expand this as $I(Y_{n-1};Y_n) = H(Y_n) - H(Y_n|Y_{n-1})$. ## Step 4: Calculate the entropy $H(Y_n)$ Since the channel is binary symmetric with parameter $p=0.5$, the output $Y_n$ is a Bernoulli random variable with parameter 0.5. Therefore, the entropy $H(Y_n)$ is equal to 1 bit. ## Step 5: Calculate the conditional entropy $H(Y_n|Y_{n-1})$ Since $Y_n$ is a function of $Y_{n-1}$, the conditional entropy $H(Y_n|Y_{n-1})$ is equal to 0. ## Step 6: Calculate the mutual information $I(X_n;Y_n)$ Substituting the values of $H(Y_n)$ and $H(Y_n|Y_{n-1})$ into the expression for $I(X_n;Y_n)$, we get $I(X_n;Y_n) = 1 - 0 = 1$ bit. ## Step 7: Calculate the limit of $\frac{1}{n} I(X_n;Y_n)$ as $n$ approaches infinity Since $I(X_n;Y_n)$ is equal to 1 bit for all $n$, the limit of $\frac{1}{n} I(X_n;Y_n)$ as $n$ approaches infinity is equal to 0. The final answer is: $\boxed{0}$ |

| llama3.1-405B-Instruct | We have that $X_2=X_1+Z_1$, $X_3=X_2+Z_2=X_1+Z_1+Z_2$, and in general, $X_n=X_1+\sum_{i=1}^{n-1}Z_i$. Thus, $Y_n=X_1+\sum_{i=1}^{n}Z_i$. Since $X_1$ and $Z_i$ are independent, we have that $H(Y_n|X_n)=H(Z_n)=1$ and $H(Y_n)=H(X_1+\sum_{i=1}^{n}Z_i)\leq H(X_1)+H(\sum_{i=1}^{n}Z_i)\leq H(X_1)+\sum_{i=1}^{n}H(Z_i)=1+n$. Thus, $I(X_n;Y_n)=H(Y_n)-H(Y_n|X_n)\leq n$, and $\frac{1}{n}I(X_n;Y_n)\leq 1$. On the other hand, $I(X_n;Y_n)\geq I(X_1;Y_n)=H(Y_n)-H(Y_n|X_1)=H(Y_n)-H(\sum_{i=1}^{n}Z_i)\geq H(Y_n)-\sum_{i=1}^{n}H(Z_i)=H(Y_n)-n$. Thus, $\frac{1}{n}I(X_n;Y_n)\geq \frac{1}{n}H(Y_n)-1$. Since $Y_n$ is a function of $X_1,Z_1,\ldots,Z_n$, we have that $H(Y_n)\leq H(X_1,Z_1,\ldots,Z_n)=H(X_1)+H(Z_1)+\ldots+H(Z_n)=1+n$. Thus, $\frac{1}{n}H(Y_n)\leq 1+\frac{1}{n}$. Since $H(Y_n)\geq H(Y_n|X_n)=H(Z_n)=1$, we have that $\frac{1}{n}H(Y_n)\geq \frac{1}{n}$. Thus, we have that $\frac{1}{n}\leq \frac{1}{n}H(Y_n)\leq 1+\frac{1}{n}$. Since $\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{1}{n}=0$ and $\lim_{n\to\infty} 1+\frac{1}{n}=1$, we have that $\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{1}{n}H(Y_n)=1$ by the squeeze theorem. Thus, $\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{1}{n}I(X_n;Y_n)=1$. The final answer is 1. |

| DeepSeek-Coder-V2 | To solve the problem, we need to find the limit of the mutual information \( \frac{1}{n} I(X_n; Y_n) \) as \( n \) approaches infinity for a binary symmetric channel (BSC) with parameter \( p = 0.5 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Channel and Feedback:** - The BSC has a crossover probability \( p = 0.5 \). - Feedback is used, meaning each received symbol \( Y_i \) becomes the next transmitted symbol \( X_{i+1} \). 2. **Initial Distribution:** - \( X_1 \) is Bernoulli with \( \text{Bern}(1/2) \), meaning \( P(X_1 = 0) = P(X_1 = 1) = 1/2 \). 3. **Subsequent Transmissions:** - \( X_2 = Y_1 \), \( X_3 = Y_2 \), ..., \( X_n = Y_{n-1} \). 4. **Mutual Information Calculation:** - Mutual information \( I(X_n; Y_n) \) measures the amount of information shared between \( X_n \) and \( Y_n \). - For a BSC with \( p = 0.5 \), the channel is symmetric and the capacity is \( C = 1 - H(p) = 1 - 1 = 0 \) bits, where \( H(p) \) is the binary entropy function. 5. **Convergence of Mutual Information:** - Since the channel capacity is 0, the mutual information \( I(X_n; Y_n) \) will also converge to 0 as \( n \) increases. - This is because the channel provides no information about the input due to the high error probability. 6. **Limit Calculation:** - Given the above, we have: \[ \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{n} I(X_n; Y_n) = \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{n} \cdot 0 = 0 \] ### Final Answer: \[ \boxed{0} \] |

| Qwen2-72B-Instruct | To solve this problem, we need to calculate the mutual information $I(X_n;Y_n)$ and then take the limit as $n$ approaches infinity. The mutual information between two random variables $X$ and $Y$ is defined as $I(X;Y) = H(X) - H(X|Y)$, where $H(X)$ is the entropy of $X$ and $H(X|Y)$ is the conditional entropy of $X$ given $Y$. In this problem, we have a binary symmetric channel with parameter $p=0.5$. This means that each bit is flipped with probability $0.5$ and transmitted correctly with probability $0.5$. Since $X_1$ is Bernoulli distributed with parameter $1/2$, it has entropy $H(X_1) = 1$ bit. Now, let's consider the mutual information $I(X_n;Y_n)$. Since $X_n=Y_{n-1}$, we have $I(X_n;Y_n) = I(Y_{n-1};Y_n)$. The mutual information between two successive outputs of a binary symmetric channel can be calculated using the following formula: $I(Y_{n-1};Y_n) = H(Y_n) - H(Y_n|Y_{n-1})$ Since the channel is symmetric with parameter $p=0.5$, we have $H(Y_n) = 1$ bit. Also, since the channel is memoryless, we have $H(Y_n|Y_{n-1}) = H(Y_n) = 1$ bit. Therefore, we have: $I(Y_{n-1};Y_n) = H(Y_n) - H(Y_n|Y_{n-1}) = 1 - 1 = 0$ Thus, we have: $\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{1}{n} I(X_n;Y_n) = \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{1}{n} I(Y_{n-1};Y_n) = \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{1}{n} \cdot 0 = 0$ Therefore, the answer is $\boxed{0}$. |

| baichuan4 | To solve this problem, we need to understand the concept of feedback in communication channels and the properties of mutual information. In a binary symmetric channel (BSC) with parameter $p$, the probability of a bit flip during transmission is $p$, and the probability of a bit staying the same is $1-p$. When feedback is used, the receiver can send back information to the sender, allowing the sender to potentially correct errors in subsequent transmissions. In this problem, each time a $Y$ is received, it becomes the next transmission. This means that if an error occurs, it will be perpetuated in all subsequent transmissions. Since $p=0.5$, the channel is completely random, and the feedback does not help in correcting any errors. Now, let's calculate the mutual information $I(X_n;Y_n)$ for any $n$. The mutual information between two binary random variables can be calculated as: $$I(X;Y) = H(Y) - H(Y|X)$$ where $H(Y)$ is the entropy of $Y$ and $H(Y|X)$ is the conditional entropy of $Y$ given $X$. Since $X_n$ and $Y_n$ are binary and the channel is symmetric, the mutual information simplifies to: $$I(X_n;Y_n) = 1 - H(p)$$ where $H(p)$ is the binary entropy function: $$H(p) = -p \log_2(p) - (1-p) \log_2(1-p)$$ Substituting $p=0.5$, we get: $$H(0.5) = -0.5 \log_2(0.5) - 0.5 \log_2(0.5) = 1$$ Therefore, $$I(X_n;Y_n) = 1 - 1 = 0$$ This means that for any $n$, there is no mutual information between $X_n$ and $Y_n$ when $p=0.5$, i.e., the feedback does not provide any additional information about the original message. Finally, we need to find: $$\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{1}{n} I(X_n;Y_n) = \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{1}{n} \cdot 0 = 0$$ So, the limit of the average mutual information per bit goes to 0 as $n$ approaches infinity. |

| doubao | Let's consider $I(X_n;Y_n)$. Since $X_n=Y_{n-1}$, we have $I(X_n;Y_n)=I(Y_{n-1};Y_n)$. For a binary symmetric channel with parameter $p=0.5$, the mutual information between two consecutive transmissions is a constant. The mutual information between two Bernoulli random variables with parameter $0.5$ is $1$ bit. So, $I(Y_{n-1};Y_n)=1$. Then, $\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{1}{n} I(X_n;Y_n)=\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{1}{n} \times 1=0$. |

| minimax | To solve this problem, we need to understand the concept of mutual information and how it applies to the binary symmetric channel (BSC) with feedback. The mutual information $I(X;Y)$ between two random variables $X$ and $Y$ is defined as: $$I(X;Y) = \sum_{x \in X} \sum_{y \in Y} p(x,y) \log_2 \left( \frac{p(x,y)}{p(x)p(y)} \right)$$ where $p(x,y)$ is the joint probability distribution of $X$ and $Y$, and $p(x)$ and $p(y)$ are the marginal probability distributions of $X$ and $Y$, respectively. In this case, we have a feedback loop where $X_{n+1} = Y_n$. Since the channel is binary symmetric with parameter $p=0.5$, the channel is essentially randomizing the input, because $p(Y_n = 1 | X_n = 1) = p(Y_n = 0 | X_n = 0) = 0.5$ and similarly for $p(Y_n = 0 | X_n = 1) = p(Y_n = 1 | X_n = 0) = 0.5$. This means that the output is independent of the input and is uniformly distributed. The mutual information between $X_n$ and $Y_n$ is given by: $$I(X_n;Y_n) = H(Y_n) - H(Y_n|X_n)$$ where $H(Y_n)$ is the entropy of $Y_n$ and $H(Y_n|X_n)$ is the conditional entropy of $Y_n$ given $X_n$. Since $Y_n$ is uniformly distributed (because of the BSC with $p=0.5$), its entropy is: $$H(Y_n) = -\sum_{y \in \{0,1\}} p(y) \log_2 p(y) = -\left( 0.5 \log_2 0.5 + 0.5 \log_2 0.5 \right) = 1$$ The conditional entropy $H(Y_n|X_n)$ is also 1, because knowing $X_n$ does not change the fact that $Y_n$ is uniformly distributed due to the channel properties. Therefore: $$H(Y_n|X_n) = H(Y_n) = 1$$ So the mutual information $I(X_n;Y_n)$ is: $$I(X_n;Y_n) = H(Y_n) - H(Y_n|X_n) = 1 - 1 = 0$$ Now, we are asked to find the limit of the average mutual information per transmission as $n$ goes to infinity: $$\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{1}{n} I(X_n;Y_n)$$ Since $I(X_n;Y_n) = 0$ for all $n$, the limit is simply: $$\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{1}{n} \cdot 0 = 0$$ Therefore, the limit of the average mutual information per transmission as $n$ goes to infinity is 0 bits. This result makes sense because the feedback does not provide any additional information about the input to the channel, as the channel is completely randomizing the input due to the $p=0.5$ parameter. |

| kimi | To solve this problem, we need to understand the concept of mutual information and how it applies to a binary symmetric channel (BSC) with feedback. The mutual information \( I(X;Y) \) between two random variables \( X \) and \( Y \) is a measure of the amount of information obtained about one random variable through observing the other random variable. For a binary symmetric channel with parameter \( p \), the probability of error is \( p \), and the probability of no error is \( 1-p \). Given that \( p = 0.5 \), the channel is symmetric, meaning that the probability of transmitting a 0 and getting a 1, or transmitting a 1 and getting a 0, is 0.5. The probability of no error (transmitting a 0 and getting a 0, or transmitting a 1 and getting a 1) is also 0.5. The mutual information \( I(X;Y) \) for a BSC with parameter \( p \) is given by: \[ I(X;Y) = 1 - H(p) \] where \( H(p) \) is the binary entropy function: \[ H(p) = -p \log_2(p) - (1-p) \log_2(1-p) \] For \( p = 0.5 \): \[ H(0.5) = -0.5 \log_2(0.5) - 0.5 \log_2(0.5) = 1 \] So, \[ I(X;Y) = 1 - 1 = 0 \] However, this is for a single use of the channel. Since feedback is used and each time a \( Y \) is received, it becomes the next transmission, the situation is slightly different. In this case, each \( X_n \) is equal to \( Y_{n-1} \), which is equal to \( X_{n-1} \). This means that the sequence of \( X \) values is deterministic and does not provide any new information about the sequence of \( Y \) values. Therefore, the mutual information \( I(X_n; Y_n) \) for any \( n \) is 0. Thus, \[ \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{1}{n} I(X_n;Y_n) = \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{1}{n} \cdot 0 = 0 \text{ bits} \] The limit of the average mutual information per symbol as \( n \) goes to infinity is 0 bits. |

| zhipu | To solve the problem, we need to analyze the mutual information \( I(X_n; Y_n) \) between the transmitted symbol \( X_n \) and the received symbol \( Y_n \) in a binary symmetric channel (BSC) with feedback, where the channel parameter \( p = 0.5 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Channel and Feedback Mechanism:** - A binary symmetric channel (BSC) with parameter \( p \) means that the probability of error (flipping a bit) is \( p \). - Given \( p = 0.5 \), the channel is symmetric with equal probability of transmitting a bit correctly or incorrectly. - Feedback means that the received bit \( Y_{n-1} \) is used as the next transmitted bit \( X_n \). 2. **Defining the Sequence:** - \( X_1 \) is Bernoulli with \( P(X_1 = 0) = P(X_1 = 1) = \frac{1}{2} \). - \( X_2 = Y_1 \), \( X_3 = Y_2 \), and so on, meaning \( X_n = Y_{n-1} \). 3. **Channel Transition Probabilities:** - For a BSC with \( p = 0.5 \): \[ P(Y_n = 1 | X_n = 1) = \frac{1}{2}, \quad P(Y_n = 0 | X_n = 1) = \frac{1}{2} \] \[ P(Y_n = 1 | X_n = 0) = \frac{1}{2}, \quad P(Y_n = 0 | X_n = 0) = \frac{1}{2} \] 4. **Mutual Information \( I(X_n; Y_n) \):** - The mutual information between \( X_n \) and \( Y_n \) is given by: \[ I(X_n; Y_n) = H(Y_n) - H(Y_n | X_n) \] - \( H(Y_n) \) is the entropy of \( Y_n \). - \( H(Y_n | X_n) \) is the conditional entropy of \( Y_n \) given \( X_n \). 5. **Calculating Entropies:** - Since \( Y_n \) is derived from \( X_n \) through a BSC with \( p = 0.5 \), \( Y_n \) is also a Bernoulli random variable with \( P(Y_n = 0) = P(Y_n = 1) = \frac{1}{2} \). \[ H(Y_n) = -\left( \frac{1}{2} \log \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} \log \frac{1}{2} \right) = 1 \text{ bit} \] - The conditional entropy \( H(Y_n | X_n) \) given the symmetry of the BSC: \[ H(Y_n | X_n) = -\sum_{x \in \{0, 1\}} P(X_n = x) \sum_{y \in \{0, 1\}} P(Y_n = y | X_n = x) \log P(Y_n = y | X_n = x) \] \[ = -\left( \frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{1}{2} \log \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} \log \frac{1}{2} \right) + \frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{1}{2} \log \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} \log \frac{1}{2} \right) \right) \] \[ = 1 \text{ bit} \] 6. **Mutual Information Calculation:** - Given the above entropies: \[ I(X_n; Y_n) = H(Y_n) - H(Y_n | X_n) = 1 - 1 = 0 \text{ bits} \] 7. **Average Mutual Information Per Transmission:** - Since \( I(X_n; Y_n) = 0 \) for all \( n \): \[ \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{n} I(X_n; Y_n) = \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{n} \cdot 0 = 0 \text{ bits} \] ### Conclusion: The limit of the average mutual information per transmission as \( n \) approaches infinity is: \[ \boxed{0 \text{ bits}} \] This result indicates that, with feedback in a binary symmetric channel with \( p = 0.5 \), there is no mutual information between the transmitted and received bits in the long run. The feedback does not improve the communication efficiency in this symmetric noise scenario. |

| gpto1 | To solve the problem, we start by understanding the behavior of the binary symmetric channel (BSC) with parameter \( p = 0.5 \). In such a channel, the crossover probability—the probability that a transmitted bit is flipped—is \( p = 0.5 \). This means that the output of the channel is entirely independent of the input; the output is just a random Bernoulli(1/2) bit, regardless of the input bit. Given the setup: - \( X_1 \) is a Bernoulli(1/2) random variable. - For \( n \geq 2 \), \( X_n = Y_{n-1} \). - The channel is a BSC with \( p = 0.5 \), so \( Y_n \) is independent of \( X_n \) and is Bernoulli(1/2). Let's analyze the sequences \( \{X_n\} \) and \( \{Y_n\} \): 1. **Sequence \( \{X_n\} \):** Since \( X_n = Y_{n-1} \) and \( Y_{n-1} \) is a Bernoulli(1/2) random variable (independent of \( X_{n-1} \)), \( X_n \) is also a Bernoulli(1/2) random variable. Thus, the sequence \( \{X_n\} \) consists of IID Bernoulli(1/2) random variables. 2. **Sequence \( \{Y_n\} \):** Since the channel output \( Y_n \) is independent of \( X_n \) (due to \( p = 0.5 \)) and the channel always outputs a Bernoulli(1/2) bit, the sequence \( \{Y_n\} \) is also IID Bernoulli(1/2). Moreover, \( Y_n \) is independent of \( Y_{n-1} \) and \( X_n \). 3. **Mutual Information \( I(X_n; Y_n) \):** Since \( Y_n \) is independent of \( X_n \), the mutual information between \( X_n \) and \( Y_n \) is zero: \[ I(X_n; Y_n) = 0 \] Therefore, for all \( n \), \( I(X_n; Y_n) = 0 \), and thus: \[ \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{n} I(X_n; Y_n) = 0 \] This means that, on average, no information is transmitted per bit in this system because the channel is completely noisy with \( p = 0.5 \), and the output is independent of the input. **Answer: 0** |
