Dimensions of Uncertainty in Communication Engineering

Dimensions of Uncertainty in Communication Engineering is a comprehensive and self-contained introduction on the problems of non-aleatory uncertainty and the mathematical tools needed to solve them. The book gathers together tools derived from statistics, information theory, moment theory, interval analysis and probability boxes, dependence bounds, nonadditive measures, and Dempster-Shafer theory. As the techniques described are also of interest to other application areas, the commonalities to transportation theory and financial mathematics are often alluded to through a number of references and research papers published in these areas.

This book is an ideal supplementary book for courses in wireless communications, providing techniques for addressing uncertainty, as well as an important resource for researchers and industry engineers. Students and researchers in other fields such as financial mathematics and transport theory will gain an overview and understanding on these methods relevant to their field.
