On mappings on the hypercube with small average stretch
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 October 2022
Abstract
Let
$A \subseteq \{0,1\}^n$
be a set of size
$2^{n-1}$
, and let
$\phi \,:\, \{0,1\}^{n-1} \to A$
be a bijection. We define the average stretch of
$\phi$
as


In this paper, we continue the line of research studying mappings on the discrete hypercube with small average stretch. We prove the following results.
For any set
$A \subseteq \{0,1\}^n$ of density
$1/2$ there exists a bijection
$\phi _A \,:\, \{0,1\}^{n-1} \to A$ such that
${\sf avgStretch}(\phi _A) = O\left(\sqrt{n}\right)$ .
For
$n = 3^k$ let
${A_{\textsf{rec-maj}}} = \{x \in \{0,1\}^n \,:\,{\textsf{rec-maj}}(x) = 1\}$ , where
${\textsf{rec-maj}} \,:\, \{0,1\}^n \to \{0,1\}$ is the function recursive majority of 3’s. There exists a bijection
$\phi _{{\textsf{rec-maj}}} \,:\, \{0,1\}^{n-1} \to{A_{\textsf{rec-maj}}}$ such that
${\sf avgStretch}(\phi _{{\textsf{rec-maj}}}) = O(1)$ .
Let
${A_{{\sf tribes}}} = \{x \in \{0,1\}^n \,:\,{\sf tribes}(x) = 1\}$ . There exists a bijection
$\phi _{{\sf tribes}} \,:\, \{0,1\}^{n-1} \to{A_{{\sf tribes}}}$ such that
${\sf avgStretch}(\phi _{{\sf tribes}}) = O(\!\log (n))$ .
These results answer the questions raised by Benjamini, Cohen, and Shinkar (Isr. J. Math 2016).
