Abstract
The capacity of the discrete memoryless arbitrarily varying channel (AVC) is investigated for deterministic list codes with fixed list size L. For every AVC with positive random code capacity Cr , a nonnegative integer M called the symmetrizability is defined. For the average probability of error criterion, it is shown that the list capacity is given by C(L)=Cr for L>M and C(L)=0 otherwise. Bounds are given which relate Cr and M. Also, explicit formulas for C(L) are given for a family of noiseless, additive AVCs
