Abstract
By invoking a form of the Perron-Frobenius theorem for the
“min-sum” semi-ring, we obtain a union bound on the
performance of iterative decoding of tail-biting codes. This bound shows
that for the Gaussian channel, iterative decoding will be optimum, at
least for high SNRs, if and only if the minimum
“pseudo-distance” of the code is larger than the ordinary
minimum distance
