摘要: We consider a directed acyclic network with three sources and terminals such that each source independently generates one symbol from given field F terminal wants to receive the sum (over F) of symbols. Each link is error-free, delay-free can carry in use. call 3-source 3-terminal (3s/3t) sum-network. give necessary sufficient condition for 3s/3t sum-network be solvable over any field. Some lemmas provide interesting simpler conditions same. show linear codes, most cases XOR are this problem though they known insufficient arbitrary number terminals. also prove recent conjecture capacity either 0, ⅔ or ≥ 1.
