Books by Rudolf Ahlswede

The fifth volume of Rudolf Ahlswede's lectures on Information Theory focuses on several problems that were at the heart of a lot of his research. After a short Part II on continuous data compression, Part III, the longest part of the book, is devoted to distributed information.

Devoted to information security, this volume begins with a short course on cryptography, mainly basedon lectures given by Rudolf Ahlswede at the University of Bielefeld in the mid1990s.

The volume "Storing and Transmitting Data" is based on Rudolf Ahlswede's introductory course on "Information Theory I" and presents an introduction to Shannon Theory. For the two next, Shannon presented an impressive mathematical theory called Information Theory, which he based on probabilistic models.
