Kailath has gained world-wide recognition in several widely different fields-information and communication theory; linear systems, estimation and control; signal processing; linear algebra and matrix theory; statistics and probability. Examples include a striking capacity-achieving algorithm for channels with feedback; innovations processes and martingale theory; the structure of likelihood ratios for signal detection; high-resolution direction-finding algorithms; the concept of displacement structure and its many applications; and resolution-enhancement techniques in optical lithography.
