Abstract

We report on two types of results. The first is a study of the rate of decay of information carried by a signal which is being propagated over a noisy channel. The second is a series of lower bounds on the depth, size, and component reliability of noisy logic circuits which are required to compute some function reliably. The arguments used for the circuit results are information-theoretic, and in particular, the signal decay result is essential to the depth lower bound. Our first result can be viewed as a quantified version of the data processing lemma, for the case of Boolean random variables.
