What is the overall capacity of two cascaded BSC channel?

No, this is not correct. Consider the chain of two BSCs with error probabilities $p_1$, $p_2$ as a single BSC with unknown error probability $p$. Now, we know that in overall no error occurs, when: …

How to prove relationship between mutual information and differential entropy?

Your derivation is correct. Your second integral can also be written as $$ \int_{x,y}f(x,y)\log_2(f(y))dxdy=\int_y\log_2(f(y))\left(\int_xf(x,y)dx\right) dy $$ where the integral in parenthesis is e …

Why are some LDPC codes more immune to noise than others?

As you mention, the LDPC code is completely determined by its generator matrix H. Hence, the properties of H define the (theoretic) performance of the code. Since the LDPC code is a linear code, the …

How to solve this entropy integral?

The integration over a vector $\mathbf x$ as given by you means something like $$\int f(\mathbf x) d\mathbf x=\int\dots\int f(x_1,\dots,x_n)dx_1\dots dx_n$$ So, you integrate over each component sep …

Shannon's entropy for non-equiprobable symbols

You need to distinguish between the entropy of your underlying distribution and the "entropy" of the realization. Consider a set $\mathcal{X}\subset \mathbb{N}$. This set defines, which symbols are a …
