A covering problem for the Hamming cube

Consider the set of all $k$-subsets of $\{1,\dots,n\}$, naturally identified with a subset $A$ of $\{0,1\}^n$ where each element has exactly $k$ ones. Is there a sharp bound known for $\epsilon$-cover …

Lower bounding decoding error in a noisy adversarial channel

Consider the special case where $|\mathcal X| = 2$ and $k=1$, that is, if you pick $P_1$ the adversary picks $P_2$ and generates a sample $Y^n = (Y_1,\dots,Y_n)$ drawn i.i.d. from $P_2$, and vice vers …
