环上的线性网络编码,第II部分:向量码和非交换字母

Linear Network Coding over Rings, Part II: Vector Codes and Non-Commutative Alphabets

Joseph Connelly, Kenneth Zeger

摘要:

我们证明了以下关于网络在各种字母表上的线性可解性的结果。对于任何网络,以下是等价的:(i)在某个有限域上的向量线性可解性,(ii)在某个环上的标量线性可解性,(iii)在某个模上的线性可解性。类似地,以下是等价的:(a)有限域上的纯量线性可解性,(b)交换环上的纯量线性可解性,(c)环是交换的模上的线性可解性。当任何网络在一个模上线性可解时,一个最小的这样的模出现在该网络在域上的向量线性解中。如果一个网络在某个非交换环上线性可解,但在任何交换环上都不可解,那么这样一个非交换环的大小必须至少为$16$,并且对于某些网络,这个界限是可以达到的。证明了一类无限网络族,其中每个网络在某个非交换环上是标量线性可解的,但在任何交换环上都不是。当$p$是素数且$2 \le k \le 6$时,如果一个网络在某个大小为$p^k$的环上是标量线性可解的,那么它在域$GF(p)$上也是$k$维向量线性可解的,但反过来不一定成立。当环是交换环时,这个结果推广到所有的$k\ge 2$.

英文摘要:

We prove the following results regarding the linear solvability of networks over various alphabets. For any network, the following are equivalent: (i) vector linear solvability over some finite field, (ii) scalar linear solvability over some ring, (iii) linear solvability over some module. Analogously, the following are equivalent: (a) scalar linear solvability over some finite field, (b) scalar linear solvability over some commutative ring, (c) linear solvability over some module whose ring is commutative. Whenever any network is linearly solvable over a module, a smallest such module arises in a vector linear solution for that network over a field. If a network is linearly solvable over some non-commutative ring but not over any commutative ring, then such a non-commutative ring must have size at least $16$, and for some networks, this bound is achieved. An infinite family of networks is demonstrated, each of which is scalar linearly solvable over some non-commutative ring but not over any commutative ring. Whenever $p$ is prime and $2 \le k \le 6$, if a network is scalar linearly solvable over some ring of size $p^k$, then it is also $k$-dimensional vector linearly solvable over the field $GF(p)$, but the converse does not necessarily hold. This result is extended to all $k\ge 2$ when the ring is commutative.
