Abstract

Pippenger (1981) showed in a probabilistic way that the capacity of a collision channel with multiplicity feedback is one. In this correspondence, using an Erdos-Renyi type search strategy, we settle a long-standing open problem by giving a constructive proof of this result. Moreover, we prove that two different capacity definitions are equivalent, thereby solving a problem posed by Tsybakov (1985)
