Concavity conjecture for polar-code interpolation functions
For a prime-power alphabet size , an integer kernel dimension , and a parameter , define
Concavity conjecture. The function is concave on for every .
If true, this would make the scaling analysis of the associated sequence of inhomogeneous polar codes rigorous in terms of . The source presents this as unproved; the notation is not defined in the supplied span.
