Abstract --- A formula for the optimistic capacity of
arbitrary channels is established. It is shown to equal
the supremum, over all input processes, of the input­
output zero­sup­information rate. A general expres­
sion for optimistic ''­capacity is also provided.
I. Overview
The conventional definition of channel capacity C [1] requires
the existence of reliable block codes for all sufficiently large
