On the Message Dimensions of Vector Linearly Solvable Networks

It is known that there exists a network which does not have a scalar linear solution over any finite field but has a vector linear solution when message dimension is $2$ [3]. It is not known whether this result can be generalized for an arbitrary message dimension. In this paper, we show that there exists a network which admits an $m$ dimensional vector linear solution, where $m$ is a positive integer greater than or equal to $2$, but does not have a vector linear solution over any finite field when the message dimension is less than $m$.
