Abstract

In the present paper we demonstrate that the concept of a list code is from a mathematical point of view a more canonical notion than the classical code concept (list size one) in that it allows a unified treatment of various coding problems. In particular we determine for small list sizes the capacities of arbitrarily varying channels.
