Here B i and C i are the i th columns of the matrices B and C , respectively. Let B and
C denote the columns of these columns, respectively, and let D denote the block diagonal
matrix on the left.
We show that at most
2 n 2
−a−γb/ 4 of the matrix pairs ( A , B ) are consistent with any
assignment to any set of a selected inputs and values of any b selected outputs.
Of the a selected inputs, let a 1 be drawn from A and a 2 be drawn from B ,where
a = a 1 + a 2 .Thenumberof γ -nice matrices A consistent with the a 1 selected inputs from

a 1 . We now bound the number of matrices B that are consistent with
the values of selected inputs and outputs.
Let A be fixed and γ -nice. Consider just the (at least b/ 4) selected outputs that fall into
light columns of C . Every value for B consistent with the selected inputs and these outputs
must satisfy the following linear equation:
E
F
|R|
B = H B = r
c
Here E consists of the b rows of D corresponding to selected outputs and F is a submatrix
of the n 2
n 2 identity matrix consisting of the a 2 rows corresponding to selected inputs
in B . c is the column of values for the selected inputs in B and r is a column of selected
outputs of C that fall into light columns. The number of values for B consistent with a
fixed A and the values of the selected inputs and outputs is no more than the number of
solutions B to these equations, since we are ignoring outputs in heavy rows.
We now show that H has rank at least a 2 + γb/ 4. A column of H is queried if a column
of E contains a selected input or the corresponding row of B contains a selected input. a 2
of these columns correspond to selected inputs in B and are linearly independent because
the corresponding columns of F are linearly independent. Consider the unqueried columns
of H . These columns in F are zero columns. Thus, consider these unqueried columns in
E .Consider k rows in E that come from a common copy of A on the diagonal of D .The
column B i of B corresponding to this copy of A is light (it has fewer than γn selected
entries) because the corresponding column of C is chosen to be light. Thus, this copy of A
has at least n ( 1
×
γ ) of its columns are unqueried.
Since A is γ -nice, the unqueried columns of this copy of it have rank at least min ( k , γn ) .
Because there are no dependencies between columns in distinct copies of A in D ,thenum-
ber of linearly independent unqueried columns of E is minimal if they all fall in as few
common copies of A as possible, because then min ( k , γn )= γn . It follows that the un-
queried columns of E have rank at least γb/ 4. Since the queried columns have rank at least
a 2 , the columns of H have rank at least a 2 + γb/ 4. It follows from an argument given
in the proof of Lemma 10.13.2 that the number of solutions B to this system is at most
