46 Proving a Lower Bound (sketch) Forget infinite for now

47 Proving a Lower Bound (sketch) Forget infinite for now Suppose that D is a code for G. Put a cake at each v D and redistribute so that each u V (G) get at least t cake (0 < t < 1).

48 Proving a Lower Bound (sketch) Forget infinite for now Suppose that D is a code for G. Put a cake at each v D and redistribute so that each u V (G) get at least t cake (0 < t < 1). Then D t V (G), or τ(g) = D V (G) t.

49 Proving a Lower Bound (sketch) Forget infinite for now Suppose that D is a code for G. Put a cake at each v D and redistribute so that each u V (G) get at least t cake (0 < t < 1). Then D t V (G), or τ(g) = D V (G) t. The same idea works for infinite graphs.

50 Proving a Lower Bound (sketch) Forget infinite for now Suppose that D is a code for G. Put a cake at each v D and redistribute so that each u V (G) get at least t cake (0 < t < 1). Then D t V (G), or τ(g) = D V (G) t. The same idea works for infinite graphs. Key: how should we share the cake?

51 Proving a Lower Bound (Cont.) To start with, we assume that v D gets enough charge evenly from its neighbors in D: a vertex v D gets 1 k τ from each of its k neighbor in D.

52 Proving a Lower Bound (Cont.) To start with, we assume that v D gets enough charge evenly from its neighbors in D: a vertex v D gets 1 k τ from each of its k neighbor in D. We analyze the remaining charges (in the worst case) of k-clusters (components of k vertices in D):

53 :13:54 1/1 verypoor.pdf (#15) :21:31 1/1 open3.pdf (#16) Proving a Lower Bound (Cont.) To start with, we assume that v D gets enough charge evenly from its neighbors in D: a vertex v D gets 1 k τ from each of its k neighbor in D. We analyze the remaining charges (in the worst case) of k-clusters (components of k vertices in D): Figure: 1-cluster: 1 τ τ = τ = 1 24 Figure: 3-cluster: 3 3τ 3τ τ = 3 7τ = 2 24

54 Proving a Lower Bound (Cont.) The key observation is that in the worst cases for 1-cluster, we can always find a so-called Type-1 paired 3-clusters or Type-2 paired 3-clusters near the 1-cluster, which can be used to supply enough charges for the 1-cluster.
