The achievable strategy involves stochastic encoding together with list decoding and a disambiguation step. The converse uses a two-phase \"babble-and-push\" strategy where the adversary chooses the state randomly in the first phase, list decodes the output, and then chooses state inputs to symmetrize the channel in the second phase. These results generalize prior work on specific channels models (additive, erasure) to general discrete alphabets and models.","lang":"eng"}],"main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":" https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2205.06708"}],"date_published":"2022-08-03T00:00:00Z","publication_status":"published","month":"08","article_processing_charge":"No","date_updated":"2022-09-05T09:09:15Z","type":"conference","day":"03","acknowledgement":"The work of ADS and ML was supported in part by the US National Science Foundation under awards CCF-1909468 and CCF-1909451.","year":"2022","intvolume":"      2022","volume":2022,"_id":"12011","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"citation":{"mla":"Zhang, Yihan, et al. “The Capacity of Causal Adversarial Channels.” <i>2022 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory</i>, vol. 2022, IEEE, 2022, pp. 2523–28, doi:<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1109/ISIT50566.2022.9834709\">10.1109/ISIT50566.2022.9834709</a>.","ieee":"Y.
