Abstract

Recent developments in network information theory, such as interference alignment and compute-and-forward, have highlighted connections to the branch of mathematics known as Diophantine approximation. At a high level, Diophantine approximation is concerned with how well the reals can be approximated by rationals. This paper surveys some classical and modern Diophantine results and demonstrates their applications in establishing degrees-of-freedom and capacity bounds.
