Hello,

In exercise 1 question e of the midterm, can the value of kappa depend on the size of the alphabet?

Thank you

Hi,

Thanks for your question.

So we expect the kappa there to be a constant which does not depend on the input alphabet or the source distributions at all.

The aim was to make something like 1-a, but for fix-complement-free code.

Hope it helps,

Best,

Reka
