—Belief propagation, via a novel reinterpretation of the Bethe free energy’s pseudo-dual, is shown to be related to a novel relaxation of maximum likelihood detection via a con...
There is a fundamental relationship between belief propagation and maximum a posteriori decoding. A decoding algorithm, which we call the Maxwell decoder, is introduced and provide...
