RPI Thesis

On the Capacity and Homology of a Discrete Metric. Partial results for a problem due to Shannon involving graph theory, topology, and coding theory: the zero-error capacity of a channel whose "confusion graph" was a pentagon. (The problem was fully solved a few years later by Laszlo Lovacs.)
