{"abstract":[{"text":"We study the problem of characterizing the maximal rates of list decoding in Euclidean spaces for finite list sizes. For any positive integer L ≥ 2 and real N > 0, we say that a subset C⊂Rn is an (N,L – 1)-multiple packing or an (N,L– 1)-list decodable code if every Euclidean ball of radius nN−−−√ in ℝ n contains no more than L − 1 points of C. We study this problem with and without ℓ 2 norm constraints on C, and derive the best-known lower bounds on the maximal rate for (N,L−1) multiple packing. Our bounds are obtained via error exponents for list decoding over Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channels. We establish a curious inequality which relates the error exponent, a quantity of average-case nature, to the list-decoding radius, a quantity of worst-case nature. We derive various bounds on the error exponent for list decoding in both bounded and unbounded settings which could be of independent interest beyond multiple packing.","lang":"eng"}],"date_published":"2022-08-03T00:00:00Z","page":"1324-1329","publication_status":"published","month":"08","title":"Lower bounds on list decoding capacity using error exponents","date_updated":"2023-02-13T09:02:06Z","quality_controlled":"1","publisher":"Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers","day":"03","volume":2022,"oa_version":"None","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","intvolume":"      2022","doi":"10.1109/ISIT50566.2022.9834815","publication":"2022 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory","scopus_import":"1","_id":"12018","date_created":"2022-09-04T22:02:06Z","year":"2022","citation":{"chicago":"Zhang, Yihan, and Shashank Vatedka. “Lower Bounds on List Decoding Capacity Using Error Exponents.” In <i>2022 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory</i>, 2022:1324–29.
