where r = pn, rho is an element of [0,1) and h(x) is the binary entropy function. In this paper, we prove that this result holds for any fixed l >= 1 when rho is an element of [0, 1/2). We also show that M(r)((<= l))(n) = O(n(3/2)) for every fixed l and r slightly less than n/2, and give an explicit construction of small (r, <= 2)-identifying codes for r = [n/2] - 1.
