摘要: For zero-error function computation over directed acyclic networks, existing upper and lower bounds on the capacity are known to be loose. In this work we consider problem of computing arithmetic sum a specific network that is not tree. We assume sources i.i.d. Bernoulli with parameter 1/2. Even in simple setting, demonstrate bounding rate quite nontrivial. particular, it requires us variable length codes relate bound equivalently entropy descriptions observed by terminal conditioned value. This obtained further so-called clumpy distribution. also an achievable scheme uses in-network compression.
