Abstract:
The entropy of a binary symmetric Hidden Markov Process is calculated as an expansion in the noise parameter ε. We map the problem onto a one-dimensional Ising model in a large field of random signs and calculate the expansion coefficients up to second order in ε. Using a conjecture we extend the calculation to 11th order and discuss the convergence of the resulting series
