摘要: Function computation in directed acyclic networks is considered, where a sink node wants to compute target function with the inputs generated at multiple source nodes. The network links are error-free but capacity-limited, and intermediate nodes perform coding. required be computed zero error. computing rate of code measured by average number times that can for one use network. We propose cut-set bound on using an equivalence relation associated function. Our holds general functions topologies. also show our tight some special cases capacity characterized.
