Characteristic Dependent Linear Rank Inequalities and Applications to Network Coding /

Abstract

Let P be a finite or co-finite set of primes. We prove there exists a linear rank inequality valid for all fields with characteristic in P. These linear rank inequalities are then used to prove that there exists a network that is linearly solvable over a field, F, if and only if the characteristic of F is in P
